Research Interests


I am using principles, concepts, methods, and techniques of engineering to address biotechnological and biomedical issues.
My current research work focuses on:

  • Systems biology
  • Biosignal processing
  • Real-time control of mass spectrometer
  • Biosystem identification and parameter estimation
  • Control theory with applications to biology and medicine
  • Engineering-inspired methodologies for computational biology and bioinformatics

    • [Publications]

     

    Extramural Research Grants

    • Positions for Graduate students in Systems Biology are now available in my research group. I am interested in recruiting high-caliber graduate students who have expertise in our areas of research. Top-tier control and systems, computer science amd applied mathematics students who are self-motivated and have publication in relevant scientific journals are encourages to apply.
