Jose Lugo-Martinez

Jose Lugo-Martinez received dual BS degrees in computer science and mathematics from the University of Puerto Rico-Rio Piedras and the MS degree in computer science from the University of California-San Diego. He is working toward the PhD degree in computer science at Indiana University. His research interests include machine learning, data and text mining, computational biology, and structural bioinformatics. The focus of his doctoral research has been the development of robust kernel methods for learning and inference on noisy and complex network data. In particular, he develops computational approaches towards understanding protein function and how disruption of protein function leads to disease.
