Habil Zare I graduated. I started my postdoc at University of Wahsangton in January 2012. ( Visit my newer homepage ) PhD   Computer Science Department   University of British Columbia

 

Supervisor: Professor Arvind Gupta

Research Interests: Bioinformatics, Machine Learning, Data Analysis, Flow Cytometry, Lymphoma, Computational Complexity, Pseudorandomness.

(see my CV.)

Current Research: In  Terry Fox Laboratory, British Columbia Cancer Agency (BCCA),  I am developing computational techniques for improving flow cytometry data analysis. In particular, I am interested in investigating the application of such tools in lymphoma diagnosis and biomarker discovery. Details are provided in my PhD thesis.

Software:
    1- SamSPECTRAL: I have developed and maintain this Bioconductor package in R that is an implementation of my enhancement to spectral clustering method. It is capable of clustering large size data such as Flow Cytometry data.

    2- FeaLect: I have developed and maintain this R package approved by CRAN. It is an implementation of my features scoring scheme that  is useful for Feature seLection [manual].
