The general focus of Dr. Valafar’s current research is the application and transfer of engineering techniques to biological systems. In addition, this transfer of information can be reversed to implement efficient optimization and security (immunity) techniques inspired by biological models. His specific research is divided into two main categories: Computational Biology and Computational Medicine.
