last update on January 2010 My name is Ronnie ALVES and I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Virtual Biology Group at the Institute of Signaling Developmental Biology and Cancer at Nice (France). Currently, investigating data mining methods for highlighting interesting patterns on Transcriptomic studies. During my PhD I was working on applied data mining in Retail and Telecommunications. My research interests are essentially related to summarization (data cubing), data mining, and ranking strategies applied on business and scientific data analysis .

It is essential...that when we face difficulties of whatever sort not to let them paralyze us. If we do, we are in danger of being totally overwhelmed by them. Instead, using our critical faculties, we should examine the nature of the problem itself. If we find it is such that there exists the possibility we could solve it by some means or other, there is no need for anxiety. The rational thing would then be to devote all ones energy to finding that means and acting upon it...If nothing can change the situation, worrying only makes it worse. (Dalai Lama Ancient Wisdom, Modern World p.151)
