Research
I am broadly interested in data mining and specifically in algorithms for learning from graph data. Beyond algorithm design, I am equally excited about applications of data mining in biology, nanomaterial design, emergency preparedness, wireless networks and network science. For details, head to our research group page.
Prospective Students
I am looking for motivated students with strong mathematics and coding background and excited about research in data mining and machine learning. Please, apply to the graduate program at the University at Albany and let me know you are interested in joining the lab (please, refer to a specific project of interest in you email). Students who are currently in the program, please, email me to set up a time to meet and discuss your plans.
