Curriculum Vitae
Fabrice Colas was born on September 14, 1981, in Laval, France.
Fabrice conducted electrical engineering studies at the ESIEA institute1. As part of ERASMUS, he spent a semester in Budapest2 and then, he went for a one year specialization in data mining research in Lyon3. For his final graduation project, he worked in text mining with Prof. Brazdil4 provided the portuguese pluri-anual funding of the Funda¸c˜ao para a Ciencia e Tecnologia under the SUMO project. In ’05, he graduated with the jury honors of the ESIEA institute and the Lyon II University, respectively with a degree of engineering and a MSc re- search oriented in data mining. After what he joined Prof. Kok to prepare a doctoral dissertation at the Leiden University5 made possible by the support of the Netherlands BioInformatics Center (NBIC).
During his three years-long PhD research, he authored seven articles in peer- reviewed conferences that totalize fourteen co-authors from ten research groups.
He was also a program committee member of IFIP AI ’08, Milan (Italy). Ad- ditionally, Fabrice prepared and made available publicly the R SubtypeDiscovery package, a data mining scenario for subtyping that was developed in the course of his PhD. This package was presented at the R BioConductor conference ’08, Seattle (USA).
This thesis summarizes his research on Data Mining Scenarios for the Discov- ery of Subtypes and the Comparison of Algorithms.
