Biography
Blaž Zupan teaches artificial intelligence and machine learning at the University of Ljubljana and Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. His research has focused on constructive induction, machine learning, and epistasis approaches for the reconstruction of gene networks, large-scale data fusion, and algorithms to propose informative data visualizations. At the Faculty of Computer and Information Science (FRI) in Ljubljana, he runs a twenty-member bioinformatics laboratory, which also develops Orange (http://biolab.orange.si), a comprehensive open-source toolbox for machine learning. He has published his work in more than a hundred articles that have received in total over ten thousand citations. He is the recipient of the Zois Award (2010), two Golden Plaques of the University of Ljubljana (2011, 2019), a Fulbright Scholarship (2013), and is a six-time recipient of the FRI Best Teacher Award (2008-2017). Res Publica, Financial Times, Visegrad Fund, and Google enlisted him in the Top 100 Most Influential Innovators of Central and Eastern Europe (2016).
