Hello, my name is Jianfeng Ke. I am a PhD student in Computer Science at UMass Lowell. I studied Math and Applied Math at Tsinghua University as an undergrad and I got my master degree at Boston University in Bioinformatics. I am interested in applying statistical or machine learning models on data to explain and also predict the occurrence of cancers and diseases. After completing my PhD, I would pursue a Postdoc position in a Comp-Bio lab and do health-related research.
Jack worked in the group during his freshman/sophomore year working on genetic variation in Neuroblastoma. He loves listening to music and playing guitar, as well as reading and watching movies.
Hi, I’m Katie Huang. I am currently a senior undergraduate student majoring in biomedical engineering. I’m currently enrolled in the 4+1 bachelor’s to master’s program for Biomedical Engineering and Biotechnology. I am interested in creating computational models to better understand a biological process and using these models to develop more effective treatments for patients. After graduate school, I plan to enter the biotech industry and help contribute to development of new treatments.
Hello, I’m Mamoon Habib. I am pursuing my Master’s in Computer Science. My interests lie at the intersection of computational biology and machine learning. I plan to pursue a Ph.D. after my Master’s. In my spare time, I enjoy watching and playing soccer and also listening to music.
Hi, I’m Nguyen and I come from Can Tho, Vietnam. For someone who is not familiar with my name, it sounds like ‘WEAN’. I am a (up coming) senior major in Applied Mathematics and Statistics. I like to watch travel vlogs and play chess in my free time. My favorite drink is Heytea Coconut Mango Boom and Pistachio Cloud Jasmine Coconut. I aim to pursue a PhD in Statistics/Biostatistics or Applied Mathematics after completing my Bachelor degree,
Hello! My name is Panagiotis Nikolaos Lalagkas, but you can call me Panos. I am a PhD student in Biology at UMass Lowell and I have background in Pharmacy and in Pharmacoepidemiology. I am excited about research and its impact on patients’ life. For this reason, I have committed myself to the world of scientific research focusing in bridging the gap between data generation and analysis for the improvement of patient outcome.
My research interests revolve around how to infer biological meaning from high dimensional and complex data set of abundant public health datasets that will benefit public interest. Certain areas I am interested in are drug discovery and precision medicine.
I’m a Public Health major and this is my first research lab and coding experience. I’m enjoying it and I learn something new everyday about science, programing, and even myself. After graduation I plan on either going to medical school or getting my masters and doctoral degree in epidemiology. For fun I’m either at the gym picking up heavy things and putting them back down or singing and listening to music.
Hi! My name is Wendy. I’m an undergraduate student majoring in Computer Science on the Data Science track. I’m excited about disease research and the intersection of biology and computer science. So, I’m interested in data analysis and computational models to find biological insights. After graduating, I plan on either pursuing a master’s in Bioinformatics or going straight into the industry. In my free time, I enjoy cooking and practicing more artistic pursuits (drawing, playing piano, writing).
