Jason Pilli

I wish to pursue a career where biology, engineering, and computation come together–namely, bioinformatics and machine learning, in which mathematical modeling and data analysis are used to research and understand diseases, form treatments, and engineer solutions. My long-term goal is to progress biology further and conduct research at the height of modern technology.
