Past Research

Research conducted at Southern Methodist University:

  • Applications and Parameter Analysis of Temporal Chaos Game Representation (TCGR)
    • Software development for TCGR visualization
    • Application of TCGR to miRNA data
    • Development of GeoTCGR for seismic data
  • Development of algorithms and software (SeisMiner) for spatial-temporal clustering of seismic data. Although not my main research focus currently, I am still looking into further development of these algorithms.
