text: I am a faculty member at the University of Southern California (USC), Department of Computer Science. I also hold a joint appointment at the Department of Biological Science. (I am currently on leave at UCLA, and will return to USC in Janunary 2017.) My research interest is statistical machine learning. My objective is to advance principled statistical methods and algorithms, driven by real-world applications for building intelligent and autonomous systems as well as understanding intelligence. For details, please check out my research and publication pages.
  I will be leading an initiative to apply machine learning and other artificial intelligence technology to life and medical sciences. I will be a faculty member of USC Michelson Center for Convergent Bioscience and a member of Lawrence J. Ellison Institute for Transformative Medicine of USC. I am actively recruiting talented postdoctoral researchers, graduate and undergraduate research assistants. If you are interested in joining my research group, please contact me.

  The Sloan Research Fellowships seek to stimulate fundamental research by early-career scientists and scholars of outstanding promise. These two-year fellowships are awarded yearly to 126 researchers in recognition of distinguished performance and a unique potential to make substantial contributions to their field. 2012
  The objective of the YIP is to attract to Army research outstanding young university faculty members, to support their research, and to encourage their teaching and research careers. This program is open to U.S. citizens, Nationals, and resident aliens holding tenure-track positions at U.S. universities and colleges, who have held their graduate degrees (Ph.D. or equivalent) for fewer than five years at the time of application. 2010
  The Computer Science Study Group (CSSG) supports university research in a number of I2O research focus areas in computer science and related fields. The goal is to enable the development of transformational technologies in these areas while informing a new generation of researchers of Department of Defense (DoD) computer science technology needs and priorities. The CSSG funds the participation of a select group of pre-tenure university professors in a multi-phase program of educational and research activities based on interaction with current and former senior DoD military and Government personnel. 2006
