With the recent technological developments in biomedical research, “bioinformatics” has drawn a lot of attention. Bioinformatics research, from a computer scientist’s point of view, can be classified into three categories: (1) developing algorithms and software tools that analyze and make it possible to understand biomedical data; (2) processing & organizing the raw data in a way such that biomedical knowledge bases can be constructed to facilitate biomedical research; (3) solving important biological problems or discovering new biomedical information by representing & integrating various types of data when the raw data is generated in a very large volume and do this at an unprecedented speed.
Recent breakthroughs in genome sequencing technology has started to generate enormous amount of data and at the same time, proteome data is being accumulated rapidly as well. Therefore, algorithm development for efficient and effective data analysis has become ever more essential. We have been developing advanced algorithms to analyze mass spectrometry-based proteomics data that will lead cutting edge technologies. Based on this firm grounding in proteomics data analysis, we have shifted gears to integrate genomic and proteomic data to better understand biological systems, paving the ways for personalized medicine
A steep increase in the amount of data, often in petabytes, requires the introduction of distributed computing technology for big data analysis. With the accumulation of meaningful biomedical data, we can perform various machine learning and data mining research to predict various biomedical phenomena and to determine dynamic states of a biological system.

 

Artificial Inteligence (AI) Laboratory is part of the Department of Computer Science at Hanyang University. Our research focuses on AI systems that exhibit the characteristics we associate with intelligence in human behavior, and also IR systems that search for documents (or information within documents) in large-scale text databases or Social Networks on the World Wide Web.

 

The fields of research for our Lab are the theory and practice of computer algorithms, especially focusing on “Information Security”, “Bioinformatics” and “String matching”. We research cryptographic algorithms and encryption protocols in “Information Security”, DNA sequencing and tandem mass spectrum analysis algorithms for “Bioinformatics”. Furthermore, we also study several algorithms that are used for search engines and data structure indexing, such as suffix trees and suffix arrays for “String matching”. These fields require extremely high-cost operations, which is why we concentrate on improving pre-exist algorithms’ performance and implementing them efficiently.

 

The goal of research at the RTCC Lab is to explore and extend real-time system theories and techniques that will solve various problems that may arise in real world applications. Currently, RTCC Lab is especially interested in (1) real-time system design and analysis, (2) operating system kernel design and optimization, (3) software engineering approaches to real-time and embedded systems, and (4) various software issues in automotive systems.

 

Software Platform is a software environment that is used to write applications and run them. It includes software tools for developing the applications, as well as a runtime engine for executing the applications.

In Software Platforms Lab., we are working on Mobile Collaboration, IoT-Edge-Cloud Integrated Computing based on lots of software platforms including mobile platform, cloud platform, IoT platform and Edge platform.

Our research group works on the mining of large-scale data obtained from biological and medical samples. As we move toward this objective, we are developing new computational methods and systems that are based on machine learning, probabilistic model, string pattern matching, and distributed computing. In addition to advancing the frontiers of bioinformatics research. These efforts should also help elucidate the relationships between genotype and phenotype, which are of immediate relevance to human disease diagnosis and therapeutics..

Recent advancements in hardware technologies enable vendors to build high-end computing platforms with unprecedented computing power and storage capacity. Despite these cutting-edge technologies, the software systems were designed decades ago and have been showing their limitations in how much they can exploit available hardware resources, thus leading to resource over-provisioning problems. Multicore operating systems Lab seeks out innovative solutions that will make legacy software scalable on multicore-based high-end computing platforms. Although research topics are open, the ongoing research projects are high-performance database systems and fast storage systems based on non-volatile memory.
