Multiple Ph.D. positions will become available fall 2016 in the group of Prof. Yang Shen, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Center for Bioinformatics and Genomic Systems Engineering, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas. Strongly motivated candidates with algorithmic thinking and programming skills as well as solid background in engineering, computer science, operation research, applied mathematics, bioinformatics, or related fields are particularly encouraged to apply.
Our interdisciplinary work on algorithmic development is motivated by real-world challenges arising from bioinformatics at multiple scales ranging from molecules and systems to big data. We develop and apply computational methods to analyze, predict, and re-engineer biomolecular interactions and biological systems. These methods often involve but are not limited to optimization and learning, systems and control, and statistics. More can be found at http://ece.tamu.edu/~yshen.
Candidates can find detailed instructions to apply at http://engineering.tamu.edu/elec ... graduate/admissions and are encouraged to apply earlier than the official deadlines. If you are interested in the Shen group, please choose the area of Biomedical Imaging, Sensing & Genomic Signal Processing and indicate your interests during applications. Applicants are also welcome to contact yshen@tamu.edu with their CVs, copies of transcripts, and brief research statements on past experiences and future plans.
