Kira Adaricheva: Measuring the Implications of the D-basis in Analysis of Data in Biomedical Studies
Prof. Adaricheva has a M.Sc. in Mathematics (Novosibirsk University) and a Ph.D. degree (Sobolev Mathematical Institute). Currently she is Full Professor and Chair of the Dept. of Mathematics of Nazarbayev University (Kazakhstan). Her research is concentrated in universal algebra and lattice theory, with relation to Horn logic. Other interests include discrete geometry, artificial intelligence and knowledge representation. The most recent work is done in the area of complexity of data retrieval and data mining involving algebraic methods and lattice structures.
