Talk 1:
Introducing the Queensland University of Technology
James M. Hogan, PhD
Associate Professor, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, QUT
The Queensland University of Technology, QUT, situated in Brisbane, is one of Australia’s leading universities with a long established focus on industrially relevant research and courses across engineering, information technology, health, science, law, business and the creative industries. In this talk I will provide a short introduction to QUT, our city and its environment, and discuss our programmes in Science, IT and Engineering.
Talk 2:
Making Sense of Sequences: Bioinformatics Research at QUT
James M. Hogan, PhD,
Associate Professor, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, QUT
The rise of Next Generation Sequencing approaches has led to an explosion in genomics data, and a need for new methods for pattern discovery and sequence comparison, parallel computation of discovery operations, and visualisations tailored to a range of specific problems. In this talk I will describe some of the work of my group in this area: using kmer based representations for pattern discovery and sequence comparison; visualisation of sequences and regulatory networks at scale using TRNDiff and BLASTExplorer, and the use of Hadoop map reduce for promoter prediction.
About the speaker:
James M. Hogan is Associate Professor of Computer Science and Director, International and Engagement for the School of EECS at Queensland University of Technology. His principal research interests lie in pattern discovery and visualisation for bioinformatics data sets, with a particular focus on bacterial genomics, transcriptional regulation and alignment free comparison. He has published 2 books and more than 70 refereed journal and conference papers, and received over $1.5M in research funding, with a lengthy track record of industrial collaboration and support. He has received both University and national awards as an outstanding teacher of programming and software engineering, and he has provided industrial training in Agile Software Engineering methods to a wide range of government and commercial clients.
