Join us at the Computing Conference 2025 in London for a fascinating conversation with Dr. Martin Zhao, Associate Professor of Computer Science at Mercer University, USA. In this exclusive interview, Dr. Zhao shares insights from his multidisciplinary research blending computer science, AI, and evolutionary biology.
🎙️ About the Interview:
Dr. Zhao discusses his journey from a STEM background into advanced data modeling and software development for biological research. His latest project involves applying stepwise custom regression modeling to decades of data from the Cayo Santiago Rhesus Monkey Colony—also known as “Monkey Island”—a disease-free, isolated primate population off the coast of Puerto Rico.
🧠 Discover how this unique collaboration between computer scientists, biomedical researchers, and anthropologists has produced CSViewer, a powerful analytical tool enabling researchers to explore a richly curated database of over 11,000 primates and their genetic lineages, skeletal data, and behavioral patterns.
💡 Key Topics Discussed:
✔️AI & machine learning in real-world biological research
✔️Stepwise regression and data visualization tools
✔️Human health insights from primate studies
✔️Cross-disciplinary collaboration in science
✔️The future of applied computing in anthropology & biomedicine
👤 About Dr. Martin Zhao:
Dr. Martin Q. Zhao is a computer science expert with a passion for real-world applications. His work spans data science, AI, and knowledge modeling, with funding support from NSF and AFRL. He actively mentors students and integrates hands-on software development into his teaching.
