Personal Overview
Dr. Subasi’s research interests lie primarily in the area of machine learning, stochastic programming, including two-stage/multistage problems with probabilistic constraints, the convexity theory of probabilistic constrained stochastic programming problems, probability bounding problem, multivariate discrete unimodality, and their applications to medicine and finance.
Her most recent research projects include the identification of genomic, clinical and environmental factors associated with human diseases. This includes risk stratification of chronic kidney disease patients as part of “African-American Study of Chronic Kidney Disease with Hypertension” funded by National Institutes of Health and National Science Foundation REU Program; identification of molecular subtypes of melanoma, funded by National Science Foundation REU Program; and identification of biomarkers associated with drug resistance in breast cancer, funded by the Community Foundation of Brevard’s Kenneth R. Finken and Dorothy Hallam Finken Endowment Fund. In the area of optimization, she investigates new methods to solve large-scale optimization problems where uncertainty is naturally inherent.

Research
Dr. Subasi’s research interests lie primarily in the area of stochastic programming, including two-stage/multistage problems with probabilistic constraints, the convexity theory of probabilistic constrained stochastic programming problems, probability bounding problem, and multivariate discrete unimodality.
Her other research interests include combinatorial data analysis with a focus on pattern based feature selection methods and data mining with applications to medicine and biology. She is currently analyzing breast cancer and lung cancer datasets to identify combinations of molecular and clinical features that are highly correlated with cancer patient outcome. She is also collaborating with Dr. Michael Lipkowitz (Georgetown University Medical Center) to develop a mathematical model that is used to predict the progression rate of chronic kidney disease.
