Core research areas are biomedical data mining and predictive modeling. I have a background in many areas of computer vision and Natural Language processing. I worked as an Assistant Professor in Emory University, prior to joining ASU. I successfully carried out several innovative machine learning based research projects related to development of predictive analysis techniques. I also have affiliation with Stanford, Emory and Duke University.
