The primary goal of our research group is to develop applied math/CS techniques and translate them to biological and medical problems. As such, we are interested in mathematicians and scientists with diverse backgrounds and training.

For all emails, please put the keyword "[RES26YU]" in the subject line to avoid accidentally going to spam. I also ignore all emails that read as AI-fluff. If you feel the need to use AI to polish, I would rather you simply email me your prompt, as I am also perfectly capable of passing a prompt to my generative AI de jour.

Graduate students	Postdocs	Internships, undergraduates, and visitors
Graduate students must be enrolled in a Carnegie Mellon degree program. My home department is computational biology, but I am also happy advising students from other allied departments, such as computer science or math. If you are an enrolled graduate student, please send an email with an explanation of your goals and your interest in the lab. Unfortunately, we cannot admit external PhD students directly to the lab. If you are not currently a graduate student at CMU, consider applying to the joint CMU-Pittsburgh Ph.D. program in computational biology.	At the moment, we unfortunately do not have any open post-doc slots in the lab. We are interested in both more theoretically-minded and more computational/engineering-focused postdocs, though all postdocs should expect to be both. If you are interested in working with us, please email your CV, at least one paper you've written, a brief description of your background, and your goals in pursuing a postdoc.	If you are an undegraduate at Carnegie Mellon interested in computational biology research, please email with a description of your goals and interest in the lab, as well as relevant math, CS, and biology coursework you've taken.
