Ray R. Hashemi

Dr. Ray R. Hashemi is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science within Georgia Southern University's College of Engineering and Computing. His academic career spans over 14 years of continuous research output from 2003-2017, with significant contributions as co-editor for four International Conferences on Information Technology and Knowledge Engineering (2005, 2010, 2014, 2017).

His research focuses on innovative applications of data mining across diverse domains:

• Bioinformatics: DNA sequence analysis, organ toxicity prediction, and liver cancer predictive systems
• Medical Informatics: Bone mineral density analysis using DEXA data and dendrograms
• Financial Systems: Extraction of essential constituents from S&P500 index
• Environmental Science: Climate prediction using algae sedimentation patterns
• Computer Vision: Video mining for theatrical analysis and Android-based OCR for non-flat documents

Methodologically, Dr. Hashemi specializes in neighborhood systems analysis, association rule mining, and grid-based approaches for sparse data. His work consistently bridges theoretical data mining concepts with practical applications, developing tools for signature-based prediction, record layout discovery, and intent analysis through web behavior. Recent publications (2015-2017) show increased focus on domain-specific applications in finance and toxicology while maintaining core data mining expertise.

His collaborative work includes partnerships with international researchers across multiple continents, demonstrated through conference editorial roles and co-authored publications. Dr. Hashemi's research demonstrates sustained scholarly activity with practical implementations in medical diagnostics, financial analysis, and environmental prediction systems.
