Bio Mohammed J. Zaki is a Professor of Computer Science at RPI. He received his Ph.D. degree in computer science from the University of Rochester in 1998. His research interests focus on developing novel data mining techniques, especially in bioinformatics. He has published over 200 papers and book-chapters on data mining and bioinformatics. We was the founding co-chair for the BIOKDD series of workshops. He is currently an Executive Editor for Statistical Analysis and Data Mining, and an Associate Editor for Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery, ACM Transactions on Knowledge Discovery from Data, Knowledge and Information Systems, ACM Transactions on Intelligent Systems and Technology, Social Networks and Mining, and International Journal of Knowledge Discovery in Bioinformatics. He was the program co-chair for SDM'08, SIGKDD'09 and PAKDD'10. He received the National Science Foundation CAREER Award in 2001 and the Department of Energy Early Career Principal Investigator Award in 2002. He also received the ACM Recognition of Service Award in 2003 & 2009, and an IEEE Certificate of Appreciation in 2005. He received the HP Labs Innovation Award in 2010. He is a Senior Member of IEEE, and was recently designated as an ACM Distinguished Scientist.
