Bio/Research

Dr. Chiu's early research on bioinformatics involved the prediction of the 3-dimensional structure of RNA, which was identified as an “outstanding interest and an important advance” by the "Current Opinion in Structural Biology." Chiu has since then developed many computational methods in analyzing a wide range of biological data, including problems in proteomics of genetically modified food, large scale analysis of long non-coding RNA secondary structures in humans and mice, microbial genome sequence and structure comparisons, protein interaction networks, and protein sequences in cancer and DNA barcoding studies.

Chiu has published more than 100 peer-reviewed technical papers in the areas of machine intelligence, data mining and bioinformatics. Previously, he has done research with the National Network Centers of Excellence of Canada (Food and Materials Network) and with Canadian high-tech companies including IBM and NCR, on pattern analysis, image analysis, character recognition and robotics. He is regularly involved in the program committee for international conferences and has guest-edited a special issue on bioinformatics in Biomedical Engineering.

He is a former recipient of the Science and Technology Agency (STA) Fellowship of Japan (1991) and the Alley Heaps Chair of Computing Science at St. Francis Xavier University, Canada (2012).
