Overview

Dr. Ramazan S. Aygun has joined Kennesaw State University as a Director of Research Computing and an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science in 2020 with joint appointment in School of Data Science and Analytics. He has published or presented over 100 refereed international journal/conference/workshop papers and book chapters in various aspects of data science including data mining, data modeling, data communications, data compression, data presentation, data retrieval, data indexing, data querying, and data fusion. He has performed research on protein crystallization analysis, bioinformatics/biochemistry, data mining, machine learning, computer vision, image & video processing, information retrieval, spatio-temporal indexing & querying, multimedia synchronization, and multimedia databases. Dr. Aygun served as a program co-chair of IEEE International Symposium on Multimedia in 2012 and 2018. He served on the organization and program committees of around 60 conferences and workshops. He also served as an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Multimedia from 2018 to 2020. He is a co-author of the book titled "Data Analytics for Protein Crystallization" published by Springer in 2017.
