Thesis Proposals and Former Students

Here you can find a list of research topics and thesis proposals for master and bachelor students. Most of these thesis are in tight connection with my research activity in area of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology.
See for example my publications and my software or my github.
Some of the topics are in collaborations with international institutions and research centers like: IBM Research Center T.J. Watson, Georgia Institute of Techology, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, BarcelonaTech, Genome Institute of Singapore, etc.
The following list is not to be considered exhaustive, further arguments can be agreed.

Some Thesis

  • Classification of biological sequences using Machine Learning techniques, e.g. Support Vector Machine, with applications to: Metagenomic Binnig : MetaProb

  • Compression of biological data, DNA reads, produced by modern sequencing systems.
    YALFF

  • Development of algorithms for calculating the entropy of a biological sequence (DNA) and subsequent identification of “important” regions.
    Fast Entropic Profiler

  • Fast detection of mutations in genomes from sequencing data:
    LAVA

  • Development of efficient algorithms for the analysis and comparison of data from Next-Generation Sequencing. Some examples of applications are:
