Professor Phoebe Chen is Professor and Chair at the Department of Computer Science and Information Technology, La Trobe University, Melbourne Australia since April 2010. She was Head of Department of Department of Computer Science and Computer Engineering, La Trobe University from 2010 to 2012.  Phoebe is a member of the College of Experts of the Australian Research Council. She is also a member of Excellence in Research for Australia 2018 (ERA2018) Research Evaluation Committee (REC) of the ARC. Prof Chen has been the Chief Investigator of ARC Centre of Excellence in Bioinformatics.Phoebe received her BInfTech degree with First Class Honours and PhD from the University of Queensland. Phoebe has been awarded 30 research grants around 8 millions (include 13 prestigious Australia Research Council (ARC) Grants) so far. Before she joined La Trobe, Phoebe was Associate Professor (Reader) in Deakin University from Dec 2003 to April 2010. She worked as a Associate Lecturer/Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Queensland University of Technology from Jul 1999 to Nov 2003. Professor Chen has been doing multi-discipline researches for more than 20 years in data analysis. Her research focus is to find effective solutions for visualizing, integrating, analyzing and mining big data, complex structures and functions for scientific and biomedical applications. She has been working in many emerging areas such as bioinformatics, multimedia, artificial intelligence, scientific visualization, pattern recognition, health informatics, data mining, deep learning  and databases. She has published over 250 research papers, many of them appeared in top journals and conferences such as Artificial Intelligence, IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems, IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, Pattern Recognition, IEEE Transactions on Information Technology in Biomedicine, IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering, Information Systems, Bioinformatics, Nature Machine Intelligence, Molecular Systems Biology, Aging Cell, Nucleic Acids Research, SIGMOD, ACM MM etc . She is steering committee chair of Asia-Pacific Bioinformatics Conference (founder) and International conference on Multimedia Modelling. She has been on the program committees of over 100 international conferences, including top ranking conferences such as AAAI, ICDE, ICPR, ISMB, CIKM etc. More.....

Current Research: Artificial Intelligence Visual and Data Analysis in Disease Diagnosis, Medical Image Analysis with Pattern Recognition, Drug Design by Visualization and Machine Learning Approach, Mining Protein and Genome Regulatory Networks using Graphic Models, Knowledge Discovery for RNA Structure and Function, Deep Learning Approach and its Applications.
