The group welcomes Tapan Goel

September 19, 2022 by adavidson38 Leave a Comment

The group recently officially welcomed Tapan Goel, a new postdoctoral researcher. Tapan is a biophysicist broadly interested in how complex behaviors emerge in biological systems from relatively simple “inter-particle” interactions. To answer this question, Tapan uses tools from non-linear dynamics and statistical physics. In the Weitz Group, Tapan will be working to develop models of virus-host interactions to understand how viral strategies evolve over time.

Learn more about Tapan here.

The group welcomes Siya Xie

May 16, 2022 by adavidson38 Leave a Comment

The group recently officially welcomed first-year Quantitative Biosciences PhD student Siya Xie. Siya is excited to begin research focusing the factors influencing the stoichiometric characteristics of marine bacteria, such as the carbon to nitrogen ratio in genome and proteins.  She is also investigating the genomic mutations affecting bacterial susceptibility to viral infection and designing a Machine Learning model that can predict the results of cross-infection from the genomic context. Besides research, Siya is also passionate about illustration, design, and 3D modeling, meanwhile dreaming of developing websites for interactive visualization of research.
