Machine Learning Methods for Multi-Omics Data Integration

Abedalrhman Alkhateeb earned his Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from the University of Jordan, Amman, Jordan, in 2004, and his MSc and Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Windsor, Canada, in 2011 and 2018, respectively. He is currently an Assistant Professor at Princess Sumaya University for Technology in Amman, Jordan. Previously, he served as an Assistant Professor and Mitacs Accelerate Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Windsor, Canada. His research interests include machine learning, deep learning, bioinformatics, and health informatics.Abedalrhman Alkhateeb has authored and co-authored more than 50 papers in prestigious journals and conferences. He also organized a workshop titled “MODI: Machine Learning Models for Multi-omics Data Integration” for three consecutive years from 2019 to 2021 in conjunction with ACM Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, and Health Informatics (ACM BCB). His recent research focuses on the health outcomes of various types of cancers. He has gained industrial experience as a bioinformatician and data analyst in several organizations, including ITOS Oncology Inc. and BlackBerry Limited in Canada, and UAE University in the United Arab Emirates.Luis Rueda received his Bachelor’s degree in computer science from the National University of San Juan, Argentina, in 1993, and his Master’s and Ph.D. degrees in computer science from Carleton University, Canada, in 1998 and 2002, respectively. He is currently a Full Professor in the School of Computer Science at the University of Windsor. His current research interests are mainly focused on devising shallow and deep machine learning and representation learning algorithms at the fundamental level and applications in bioinformatics and cybersecurity to problems in biomedical imaging, transcriptomics, integrative genome-wide data analysis, identification of cancer biomarkers, user authentication, spam review detection and social engineering.Luis Rueda holds four patents on machine learning and cybersecurity and has more than 200 publications and presentations in prestigious journals and conferences in machine learning, computational biology, and cybersecurity. He currently serves as Associate Editor of IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, and Network Modeling Analysis in Health Informatics and Bioinformatics. He is also a member of the program committees of several conferences in the field. He is also a Senior Member of the IEEE, and a Member of t
