I am Research Assistant and PhD Candidate in Computer Science at the Ohio Center of Excellence in Knowledge-enabled Computing (Kno.e.sis). I joined the Knoesis Center in February 2011. I have a Ph.D. in Bioinformatics from the University of Georgia and M.Sc. in Computer Engineering from Sharif University of Technology.

Projects

  • PhylOnt, A Domain Specific Ontology in Phylogeny Analysis.

PhylOnt is in collaboration with University of Georgia
The specific objective of this research is to develop and deploy an ontology for phylogenetic analysis application and web services and down- stream use of phylogenetic trees in Scientific Literature and Standard files such as XML. This is a foundation to allow an integrated platform in phylogenetically based comparative analysis and data integration. PhylOnt is an extensible ontology, that describes the methods employed to estimate trees given a data matrix, models and programs used for phylogenetic analysis and descriptions of phylogenetic trees including branch-length information and support values. It also describes the provenance information for phylogenetics analysis data such as information about publications and studies related to phylogenetic analyses. To illustrate the utility of PhylOnt, I annotated scientific literature and files to support semantic search. Project Period : 2010 – 2012

  • PSE-Tcruzi, A novel ontology-driven semantic problem-solving environment (PSE) for T.cruzi Wiki Page.

PSE is in collaboration with the Center for Topical and Emerging Diseases (CTEGD) and the National Center for Biomedical Ontologies (NCBO)
It allows the dynamic integration of local and public data to answer biological questions at multiple levels of granularity. This data Included in the multimodal datasets will be the genomic data and the associated bioinformatics predictions, functional information from metabolic pathways, experimental data from mass spectrometry and microarray experiments, and textual information from Pubmed. Project Period : 2008 - 2012

  • SemHealth, Advancing Open mHealth with Semantic Web Technology.
  • MUDDIS, Multidimensional Semantic Integration Approach for Knowledge Discovery.

MUDDIS is in collaboration with National institute of health(NIH)
The driving principle in using multi-dimensional approach is to create effective domain specific knowledge discovery, based on gene annotation with the use of scientific and provenance information from different resources. Find the similarity between genes can be useful in different areas of life science and biomedical fields such as model organism research and drug discovery in human. We regroup genes based on their functional annotations, structural annotations, genes responsible for disorders and gene-drug interactions. The novelty of this work is to query through different data sources and make a collection of data for similarity calculation calculated in different levels of granularity. Data from literature, open public databases such as OMIM and gene-centered information at NCBI are used as individual resources for different feature of the gene. Each additional features increases the value of knowledge that can be explained within individual resources. Project Period : 2012 – Current

  • Kino, An Integrated Tools to Annotate and Search Documents such as Scientific Literature, Academic Articles and XML Files.

It is an integrated suite of tools that enables scientists to annotate web-based documents. Kino-Phylo consists of an NCBO integrated front-end that allows the convenient annotation and submission of web documents through a browser plugin, and an annotation aware back-end, capable of providing faceted search capabilities. Project Period : 2010 - 2012

Usually semantic annotation needs resources such Ontologies to map the concepts from resources to the target data set for annotation. In the process of annotation, extra information is added to resources, which connect a part of the data to corresponding concept in the ontology. The process of describing the publications with Ontology concepts helps to use the existing valuable information in publications for integration and reusability of published data. Project Period : 2011 - 2012

  • PhylAnt-X, Semantic Annotation of XML files with Meta Data.

Annotation the XML file with concepts from Ontologies will be useful to make the XML files more understandable with the agent of the web for searching, integrating and re-usability. Users do not always know the structure of an ontology ’s con- tent or how to use the ontology to do the annotation themselves. In my approach, I over- come this limitation by showing the all possible Ontologies from NCBO for a selected concept during the annotation process. Project Period : 2011 - 2012
