2023 Faculty lightning talks
Each year, as part of our weekly seminar series, some of our faculty members participate in lightning talks, sharing their areas of interest, current research projects, and potential collaboration opportunities for members of our graduate program. Our master’s and doctoral students gain exposure to different avenues of investigation and ideas for projects that can contribute to their theses or dissertations.
Here are the faculty members who participated in the 2023 talks and their current research focuses:
- Knowledge discovery for precision medicine
- From multi-omics data to bedside
- Scalable statistical and computational methods
- Multivariate data analysis and visualization
- High-performance, cloud-native solutions
- AI models
- Diseases (including cancers, myeloproliferative neoplasms, childhood asthma, drug-induced immune response, and more)
- Omics
- Biostatistical methods
- Statistical computing
- Software implementation
- Asthma/wheezing (environmental exposures, geospatial correlation)
- Colorectal cancer (markers for prognosis/treatment response, protein colocalization, spatial proteomics)
- Psychology and psychiatry
- Neuroimaging
- Colon cancer
- Multiplexed imaging
- Semiparametrics
- Effect sizes
- Longitudinal models
- Mixture models
- Alzheimer’s disease
- Longitudinal models
- R programming
- Mental health
