Doina Caragea

Doina Caragea is an assistant professor at Kansas State University. Her research interests include artificial intelligence, machine learning, data mining, information integration and information visualization, with applications to bioinformatics. Doina received her Ph.D. in Computer Science from Iowa State University in August 2004 and was honored with the Iowa State University Research Excellence Award for her achievements. Her Ph.D. work at Iowa State University was focused on learning classifiers from autonomous, distributed, semantically heterogeneous data sources. Her recent work at Kansas State University has been focused on the development of algorithms and tools for genome annotation. More specifically, she has participated in projects such as EST data analysis, investigation of transcription networks and their relation to environment, and studies on alternative splicing, among others. Prof. Caragea has published more than 30 refereed conference and journal articles. She is teaching machine learning, data mining and bioinformatics courses.
