They develop and apply high-dimensional nonlinear machine learning methods to biomedical big data science challenges. They have published about 200 papers in prominent scientific and engineering venues, with >12,000 citations and an h-index >45. Their group is one of the few in the world that regularly publishes in both top scientific (e.g., Nature, Science, Cell, PNAS, eLife) and top artificial intelligence (e.g., JMLR, Neurips, ICML) venues. They have received funding from the Transformative Research Award from NIH, the NSF CAREER award, Microsoft Research, and many other government, for-profit and nonprofit organizations.
