Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Dayan Perera's research focuses on aquatic animal health and aquaculture systems, with publications examining the growth performance of transgenic channel catfish and the isolation and culture of crappie ovarian cells. Perera has also investigated the identification and characterization of germ cell genes in white and black crappie. Further work explores the impact of production methods on okra growth and mineral composition within aquaponic systems, specifically in conjunction with Nile tilapia. In addition to aquatic studies, Perera has contributed to research in medical imaging, developing a novel loss function for longitudinal multiple sclerosis lesion segmentation, and has explored the application of machine learning for cryptocurrency price prediction.
