Dr. Jocelyn B. Barbosa obtained her PhD in Computer Science and Engineering in Korea University, Seoul, South Korea in 2019, under Korean Government Scholarship Program. While pursuing her PhD degree, she conducted researches in Data Mining and Information Systems Laboratory, and worked collaboratively with neurologists in Korea University Hospital. During her graduate studies, she also received an Academic Excellence award from the Korean Government – National Institute for International Education Development (NIIED).

Her research interests mainly focus on finding and understanding the fundamental aspects of predictive modeling; and building models, algorithms and information systems that seek to address complex queries over a large number of structured and unstructured data sources. She specializes in data mining and knowledge discovery; image processing and pattern recognition; and data-driven predictive modeling. She was also involved as principal investigator in building IS for image-based facial paralysis’s objective assessment and classification at Korea University Guru Hospital . Her current research works are geared towards identifying patterns of historical data to build models and provide technology solutions and devices for health industry, agriculture, and education sector fostering equitable access to education.
