He has published over 470 papers in international journals, international conferences proceedings, and book chapters. Particularly, he has published over 230 SCI indexed papers. His Google Scholar citation number is over 18300 times and H index 73. His main research interest includes neural networks, pattern recognition and bioinformatics.

Prof. Alexander Gammerman
Royal Holloway, University of London, UK

Professor Gammerman's current research interest lies in machine learning and, in particular, in the development of conformal predictors -- a set of novel machine learning techniques that guarantee the validity of prediction. Areas in which these techniques have been applied include medical diagnosis, drug design, forensic science, proteomics, genomics, environment, and information security. He has published about two hundred research papers and several books on computational learning and probabilistic inference.

Professor Gammerman is a Fellow of the Royal Statistical Society and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. He chaired and participated in organizing committees of many international conferences and workshops on Machine Learning and Bayesian methods in Europe, Russia and in the United States. He was also a member of the editorial boards of the Law, Probability and Risk journal (2002-2009) and the Computer Journal (2003-2008). He has held visiting and honorary professorships from several universities in Europe and USA. Further details can be found at http://cml.rhul.ac.uk
