update on April 2012
My name is Ronnie Alves and
I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Institute of Informatics at UFRGS.
Currently, investigating data mining methods and algorithms for transcriptomic data analysis (see MOBIO). Before, I was a Post-doc in the Virtual Biology Lab at the Institute of Developmental Biology and Cancer at Nice (France).
During my PhD I devised multidimensional data mining methods for on-line multidimensional analysis in Retail and Telecommunications.
My research interests are related to
the development of methods and algorithms for knowledge discovery in
business and scientific databases, with emphasis to:
-OLAP Mining (data cubing algorithms)
-Ranking (multidimensional mining, top-k algorithms, change analysis)
-Graph-based algorithms (cliques, paths, centrality)
-Association mining (frequent patterns, interestingness metrics)
-Ensemble strategies (ensemble learning, meta-analysis, meta-learning)
MOBIO - PNPD project, Capes (Brazil) - Start:Mar'2010 End:Feb'2013
MOBIO stands for Methods and Algorithms for Biochemical
Data Analysis. The main goal is, essentialy, to study and provide
robust mining strategies for genome wide association studies in pharmacogenomics.
Related areas: bioinformatics, data mining & transcriptomics.
