E-mail： koalbert@mail.cgu.edu.tw

Phone： 03-2118800#3857

Education： Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology

Expertise： Machine learning of population health data, population genetics, clinical trials

Lab & Research Interest

Applying different types of machine learning algorithms, including random forest and neural networks, to better classify clinical data as well as genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic data to understand the biological implications behind clinical features and disease mechanisms. Population genetics allows further understanding the selection of traits and their functions in populations.
