Professional Biography

The increasing complexity of today’s medical research requires more than traditional, single point-of-view approaches. In particular, (big-)data-driven approaches, which aim to reveal patterns in massive heterogeneous datasets and make clinically relevant predictions, are becoming increasingly common in translational research. Dr. Bian has a diverse yet strong multi-disciplinary background and extensive research experience in data analytics, machine learning, natural language processing, network science, distributed computing systems and software engineering. Here at the University of Florida, Bian will focus on various aspects of Biomedical Informatics research, particularly in: 1) network science — understanding the structure and function of physical, biological, and social networks and how this structure and function relates to health and health care; 2) data-driven medicine — applications of machine learning and data mining techniques in biomedical research especially on solving big data problems; and 3) designing and developing tools and systems using informatics principles and techniques to support clinical research activities.
