- Speaker:
- Dr Shan He, University of Birmingham
In this talk, Dr Shan He will briefly introduce his multi-disciplinary research in the areas of computational intelligence and computational biology.
Firstly he will introduce his ongoing research in applying Computational Intelligence, e.g., evolutionary computation to metabolomics. Then Dr He will present a novel ensemble-based feature selection algorithm for discovering putative biomarkers from high-dimensional omics data. Finally, he will present his work in simulating the evolution of animal self-organising behaviour using evolutionary agent-based modelling.
Shan He is a lecturer in Computational Biology in the School of Computer Science, University of Birmingham. The post is part of the Systems Science for Healthinitiative. He is also working in the Centre for Systems Biology (CSB), in the School of Biosciences. Previously, he was a Bridging the Gap research fellow, a Wellcome Trust Value in People fellow, a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow and a research associate in Cercia. He obtained his PhD degree in Electrical Engineering and Electronics from the University of Liverpool in November 2006.
