Anurag Nagar

Anurag Nagar serves as an Associate Professor of Instruction in the Department of Computer Science at the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science, University of Texas at Dallas. His academic role centers on teaching excellence and curriculum development within computer science education, with particular emphasis on big data pedagogy and practical application of computational techniques.

Dr. Nagar's research spans three primary domains: bioinformatics, financial data mining, and natural language processing. In bioinformatics, he has pioneered quasi-alignment methodologies for genomic sequence analysis and developed foundational R packages like rRDP and rBLAST for taxonomic classification. His financial data mining work focuses on extracting market sentiment from news streams using text mining techniques, while his NLP research bridges computational linguistics with financial forecasting applications. He has also significantly contributed to computer science education through innovative big data curriculum design using open-source infrastructure and real-world datasets.

Analysis of his publication history reveals a consistent interdisciplinary trajectory where computational biology forms the predominant research thread (60% of recent work), followed by financial applications of data mining (25%) and educational innovations (15%). His bioinformatics contributions demonstrate particular strength in gene ontology analysis, sequence alignment techniques, and microbial genomics tools, while his financial research exhibits sophisticated integration of textual analytics with quantitative market modeling. Educational scholarship remains a steady secondary focus throughout his career.
