Sean will attend the EMBO course Integrative analysis of multi-omics data.
Ammar presents at WCPG
Ammar will present a poster based on his preprint “rfPhen2Gen: A machine learning based association study of brain imaging phenotypes to genotypes” at the World Congress of Psychiatric Genetics
NORA-Turing exchange fellowship to Mariyam
Congratulations to Mariyam for being selected for the 2022 NORA.ai Research Exchange Enrichment Scheme with the Alan Turing Institute! The award will allow Mariyam to spend 6 months at the Turing Institute to work with Chris Holmes.
Congrats Ammar!
Congratulations to Ammar for successfully defending his PhD thesis “Machine learning approaches for high-dimensional genome-wide association studies”!
You can find more information about the defense and a copy of the thesis on UiB’s pages.
Ammar will now continue in the group as a postdoctoral fellow on the NeuroConvergence project.
Congrats again Dr Malik!
Welcome Bendik, Ørjan, and Daniel!
A warm welcome to our new master students: Bendik (master in machine learning) will do a project with Ramin and Gutama about missing data prediction in causal networks, Ørjan (master in bioinformatics) will do a joint project with Anagha Joshi about spatial transcriptomics, and Daniel (master in bioinformatics) will do a joint project with Susanna Röblitz about comparing ML and classical dynamical systems methods for learning networks from time series data.
Welcome Gutama!
A warm welcome to Gutama Ibrahim who joins the group as a PhD student. Gutama has a master in Applied Physics and Mathematics from the University of Tromsø and he will work on the “Intelligent systems for disease risk prediction” project.
Congrats Ammar!
Congratulations to Ammar, whose paper “High-dimensional multi-trait GWAS by reverse prediction of genotypes” has been accepted for presentation at CIBB 2021!
Congrats Ramin!
Congratulations to Ramin, whose paper “A graph feature auto-encoder for the prediction of unobserved node features on biological networks” has been published in BMC Bioinformatics!
Two preprints by Ramin
Congrats to Ramin for posting no less than two preprints on arXiv:
- Tesla-Rapture: A Lightweight Gesture Recognition System from mmWave Radar Point Clouds
- Integrating Sensing and Communication in Cellular Networks via NR Sidelink
Both papers result from a collaboration between Ramin and Dariush Salami at the Ambient Intelligence group at Aalto University, and introduce new graph neural network-based methods for analyzing point cloud data.
Great to see when students independently initiate projects and push them through to completion (exposing the limits of their supervisor’s knowledge in the process 🙂
Congratulations Sean!
Warm congratulations to Sean for successfully passing his PhD viva at the University of Edinburgh! Sean will now join us as a postdoc at CBU to work on the INTRePID project.
Welcome to Bergen Dr Bankier!
