- CSRAI Student Affiliate
College: Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences
Major/Program: Bioinformatics and Genomics
Email: mak6930@psu.edu
Research Interests: My long term research interests are founded on the idea of integrating many forms of data that are increasingly accessible in the biological and medical sector such as multi-omics, IoT (physiological and environmental), Electronic Health Records, and Medical Imaging (histopathology, MRI, CT-Scan, Ultrasound) data to personalize medical diagnostics and treatment methods. Although we have incredible resources to obtain a variety of different modalities of data, it is challenging to gain insight while integrating these data together. During my PhD, I want to work with multi-omics data, learning about biology, computer science, and statistics, to focus on developing Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning algorithms that help us gain insight from integrating data.
