In May 2007, I received the Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of South Carolina, under Dr. Michael N. Huhns.

My research areas are Data Science and Computational Life Science in general; in particular, the semantics and analysis of data as well as their innovative applications on human genomics and transcriptomics.
