Professor Department of Computer Science,
14 MLH. Email: suely-oliveira@uiowa.edu Office: 101 MLH Phone: 319-335-0731 |
RESEARCH: Machine Learning,
Scientific Computing and Parallel Algorithms.
Professor Oliveira is a Full
Professor in Computer Science at the University of Iowa, member of the
Informatics and the Applied Mathematical and Computational Sciences programs.
She was awarded her PhD at the University of Colorado, was previously an
Assistant Professor at Texas A&M,
has taught at and visited many Universities, including the Australian
National University and University of São Paulo. Professor Oliveira's research
is interdisciplinary, on the computational and theoretical aspects of
algorithms in Scientific Computing and Machine Learning. She is particularly
interested in genetics, biology, chemistry, and medicine applications. Projects
have included clustering algorithms for protein-protein networks, neural
networks for antibiotic resistance, and interpretable neural networks for test
assessments. Professor Oliveira has published two books (one with
Cambridge University Press and one with World Scientific). More details below.
