Jiayi Zhang Position Graduate Student Title Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics Email [email protected] Bio/Description I graduated from Carnegie Mellon University in 2022, with a B.S. in Computational Biology (and a minor in Linguistics). My undergrad thesis focused on using vocal fold dynamics for automatic detection of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS, a neuron-degenerative disease), and I have worked on other projects involving signal processing in the past. At QCB, I am looking forward to *investigating how information is encoded and transmitted in living systems*. In my own time, I enjoy cooking, reading and all sorts of performance arts:) Related News Sebastian Gonzalez La Corte and Jiayi Zhang are awarded QCB's Cassidy Yang Memorial Prize Adviser Tatiana Engel Start Date 2022 First Year Program(s) QCB Graduate Program Other Research Lab Engel Research Lab
