I received Ph.D. in Computer Science from University of California, Irvine, in June 2010. Ph.D. dissertation title: Uncovering Biological Knowledge from Network Structure.
I work with Prof. Natasa Przulj. My research involves development and application of graph theoretical, statistical, and machine learning methods for analysis, comparison, and modeling of biological networks, with a particular focus on protein-protein interaction and metabolic networks. To find more about my research, go to "Publications".
Previously, I received B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2005.
I received Opportunity award and McGaugh Hall Display Case Design Challenge award from Center for Complex Biological Systems, UCI, 2008.

Protein function prediction and disease gene identification:
Identifying the relationship between the topology of biological networks and biological function and disease.
Network alignment:
Comparisons of biological networks to transfer biological knowledge between species and gain insights into evolution.
Mathematical modeling of biological systems:
Identifying well-fitting models for biological networks, developing novel heuristical measures of network topological similarity.
