Tom Han Chongye

Incoming Research Assistant at Salk Institute

I'm a biology and CS student passionate about using AI and data science to unravel the mysteries of complex biological questions. I'm now a research assistant at the Salk Institute, working on projects that leverages deep learning powered tools to analyze pathogenesis of ALS in mouse model with Dr. Talmo Pereira and Dr. Eiman Azim. When I'm not in lab, you'll find me exploring scenic bike routes or tinkering with my Flipper Zero.
