Graduate Research Assistant

• Aug 2019 - Present

I study interpretable machine learning models that can be used to understand cancer biology in addition to predicting drug response from RNA-seq data. I also lead an effort to study representation learning approaches to studying proteins. The learned representations have been used for protein function prediction, protein-protein interaction prediction and epitope prediction.

Researcher

• May 2018 - May 2019

I studied open-ended evolution of technology using patent records. My contributions included taking high dimensional vector representations of clusters of patent documents and studying emergent classes of patents and forecasting technology. I also worked on an Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) funded project on predicting technological progress. I studied open-ended evolution of technology using patent records.
