Research

I am interested in applying computational methods to biological data. Among other problems, I have an interest in partitioning, measuring closeness of vertices, and motif detection in protein interaction networks. My advisor is Shanghua Teng. I also work with Yu Xia in the Bioinformatics department.

Projects (past and present)

Local Protein Community Finder is an application which allows you to find a local community in a protein interaction network in the neighborhood of a given protein.

Programs for enumerating cliques and bicliques in a network allow you to enumerate all cliques and bicliques of a given size, concatenate them and display them in Pajek.

Virtual Northern Blot is a tool which generates a gene expression profile by matching the input gene to expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from different tissues in a particular organism.

About me

I lived in the former USSR for 13 years and came to America with my parents in 1996. I was born in Almaty, Kazakhstan. I also lived in Russia (St. Petersburg) and Belarus (Minsk). In my free time I like playing sports and watching the Celtics, they are so good these days! I also enjoy browsing the fail blog.
