Principal Research

Dick de Ridder (M.Sc. in Computer Science, 1996; Ph.D. in Pattern Recognition and Image Processing, 2001; both from Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands) in 2003 moved into bioinformatics starting at Erasmus University Medical Centre, Rotterdam. In 2005 he was tenured as assistant professor at Delft University of Technology, where he currently conducts research in data-driven bioinformatics, particularly focusing on problems in biotechnology and microbial systems biology.

Interests

His interest lies in the integration of high-throughput measurement data with prior knowledge about a problem to be solved by machine learning algorithms. Challenges occur at the “interface” between generic algorithms and specific bioinformatics problems. How can biological prior knowledge be transformed and used to achieve optimal generalisation at minimal experimental cost?
