The new frontier is to pair these models with data possibly coming from drones. The research is performed in collaborations with various partners, including Rutgers-New Brunswick and UC Berkeley. The research… continue reading
Project Description: Our lab works in computational biology. We analyze genomes, ranging from viruses to humans to find out how mutations in genomes change their function. For example, how they lead to cancer. Based on your interests we can find tasks suitable for your specific skill set, from data visualization to writing code for data… continue reading
