Research Interest
Intelligent Systems and Applications
My research focuses on intelligent systems (encompassing machine learning, artificial intelligence, fuzzy techniques) and their applications to various domains, with an emphasis on decision making, be it decision under uncertainty, decision under risk, or multicriteria decision making as well as game theory.
Some of these techniques are natural extensions of statistical approaches for data analysis, whereas other approaches complement the more traditional Bayesian approaches for data analysis.
More specifically, I am interested in modeling and understanding complex phenomena in biology, environmental sciences, and finance. Although the fields are rather different, they remain data-driven and intelligent systems techniques offer an effective unifying framework to address the problems of those application domains.
