RESEARCH INTERESTS

I am working on Network Identification with sparse structure. Particularly, I am interested in Genetic regulatory network identification.

1.Genetic Regulation

Genes are encoded as sequence of chemical bases in DNA and are transcribed into mRNA intermediate, and are translated into protein

•Problem: The molecules in the cell interact with each other and these interactions form a complex ‘network of networks’  that is responsible for the behavior of the cell. Major challenge in biology is to map out and model the topological and dynamical properties of these networks in the presence of limited data.

Goal: Discovering and modeling the relationships between the components of the mechanisms that govern gene regulatory network dynamics using continous or stochastic models.
