We are working to develop novel algorithms for use in molecular biology and drug discovery. Our main areas of interest include:

Research Topics

¢£Privacy-preserving search in chemical compound databases
¢£Comprehensive analysis of millions of ligand-binding pockets based on efficient all pairs similarity search
¢£Fast clustering of massive short reads by multiple sorting
¢£Machine learning methods for activity recognition from biomedical sensor data
