Jingyun Qian (jingyun.qian@emory.edu, 2nd year PhD student)
I'm a first-year PhD student in Computational Science and Informatics, working on sequence-to-function models to uncover individual-level epistasis variants for precision medicine. I’m passionate about using my skills in bioinformatics, machine learning, and statistical analysis to translate complex genomic data into biological insight. I'd love to connect over coffee to chat about career development and emerging technologies at the intersection of AI and healthcare.

For students looking for Ph.D. training:
I prefer to work with students for a trial period of 1-2 semesters before formally recruiting them or committing to an advising relationship. This is because research fit is mutual, and I want to be responsible to every mentee.
I invest substantial time and effort in mentoring each student. I benefited tremendously from the mentorship I received from my advisors, and I aim to provide the same level of support to my mentees.
