Frans Coenen is Professor of Computer Science. His research interests include Data Mining, Machine Learning and Big Data Analytics. More specifically, he works on the application of Data Mining, Machine Learning and Big Data Analytics to unusual data sets, such as: (i) graphs of all kinds including social network data; (ii) time series, such as PCG sound waves, for the purposes of identifying patterns and trends; (iii) free text of all kinds, not just for data extraction purposes, but also with a view to learning ontologies; (iv) 2D and 3D image data, especially medical images; and (v) video data. He is also interested in data mining using homomorphic and order preserving encrypted schemes; in other words secure data analysis.
