Current Status
Since 2011 I hold a professor position in the University of Applied Sciences, Western Switzerland, at the Department of Business Informatics. I am still affiliated with the department of Computer Science of the University of Geneva as a ÒchargŽ de coursÓ.
Research profile
My research work has two axes. The first deals with the development of novel methods and algorithms in the domains of data mining (DM), and machine learning (ML). The second concerns the use of these tools to solve real world problems in a variety of domains with an emphasis to applications from biology and bioinformatics.
Research in KDD, DM and ML.
I have an active interest in the development of kernel- and metric-based learning algorithms for problems with complex representational requirements, feature selection and the study of model stability of feature selection and machine learning algorithms, the development of similarity measures for learned models. Recently I have gone back to my scientific origins in the field of meta-learning and meta-mining and have started to examine the problem of automatic composition of knowledge discovery workflows tailored to the requirements of specific users and application problems.
Applied Research
The application domain to which I have mostly focused over the last years is the biomedical domain and namely the construction of predictive, diagnostic and prognostic models for various pathologies, a significant part of the work concerned the development of analytical tools for mass spectrometry data.
