DESCRIPTION:The four outstanding students selected as the 2023-2024 IDSC Fe
 llows gave their initial project presentations at a launch symposium held 
 at the Richter Library on November 28. This was followed by presentations 
 from the inaugural cohort of the Provost’s Fellowship in Interdisciplina
 ry Computing awardees. If you missed it\, watch on our YouTube Channel. \n
 \nJoin us to hear the IDSC Fellows’ progress at the capstone event: Tues
 day 4/30/2024 | 3:00-5:00 PM\, Richter Library 3rd Floor Conference Room #
 343\, or via ZOOM (zoom will be emailed to you upon completion of registra
 tion)\, with light refreshments.\n\n\n \n\n\n\nMadeleine Dawson\n\n3rd yea
 r PhD in Ocean Sciences\n\n \n\nPROJECT TITLE: Island Wake Segmentation an
 d Characterization from Synthetic Aperture Radar Imagery: A Deep Learning 
 Approach\n\n \n\nMENTORS:\nDavid R. Chapman\, PhD | Associate Professor\, 
 Department of Computer Science\, College of Arts and Sciences | Knight Fou
 ndation Junior Chair of Data Science and AI | IDSC Core Faculty Member\nHa
 ns Graber\, ScD  |  Professor\, Department of Ocean Sciences\, Rosenstiel 
 School of Marine\, Atmospheric\, and Earth Science\nExecutive Director\, C
 enter for Southeastern Tropical Advanced Remote Sensing (CSTARS)\n\n \n\nM
 adeleine is currently working with Dr. Hans Graber at the Rosenstiel Schoo
 l of Marine\, Atmospheric\, and Earth Science. She received her Bachelor o
 f Science in Biological Engineering from the University of Missouri-Columb
 ia before beginning her Ph.D. at the University of Miami. Her current rese
 arch is focused on the characterization of island wakes through spaceborne
  Synthetic Aperture Radar datasets. As an IDSC Fellow\, the utilization of
  deep learning techniques will aid in classifying highly dynamic and turbu
 lent features of the island wakes to create accurate parameterizations for
  future predictions.\n\n \n\n\n\nAnna Golikova\n\nSenior\, majoring in Bio
 logy\n\n \n\nPROJECT TITLE: Identification of bacterial viruses in two ree
 f-building corals\, Pseudodiploria strigosa and Montastraea cavernosa\n\n 
 \n\nMENTORS:\nRavi Vadapalli\, PhD | Director\, Advanced Computing\, IDSC\
 nCynthia Silveira\, PhD | Assistant Professor\, Department of Biology\, Co
 llege of Arts and Sciences | silveiralab.com\n\n \n\nAnna is majoring in B
 iology with minors in Chemistry\, Computer Science\, and Psychology. After
  learning about viral diversity in the "Biology of Viruses" course offered
  at the University of Miami\, Anna joined the Silveira Lab to delve deeper
  into marine viral ecology. She started working on the project that aimed 
 to isolate and identify seawater viruses that infect coral-associated bact
 eria and that may be involved in coral diseases. As an IDSC Fellow\, she h
 opes to conduct bioinformatics analysis\, including genome annotations and
  comparative genomics study\, of her isolated bacteriophages (viruses that
  infect bacteria) and their hosts in order to explore how bacterial viruse
 s could contribute to the emergence of pathogens in coral reefs.\n\n \n\n\
 n\nTianhao Liu\n\n3rd year PhD in Biostatistics\n\n \n\nPROJECT TITLE: Spe
 ctral Graph Theory Methods Using Eigenpairs With Small Eigenvalues\n\n \n\
 nMENTORS:\nKamal Premartne\, PhD | Professor\, Electrical and Computer Eng
 ineering\, College of Engineering\nDaniel Andrés Díaz-Pachón\, PhD  |  
 Research Assistant Professor\, Biostatistics Division\, Department of Publ
 ic Health Sciences\, Miller School of Medicine\n\n \n\nTianhao is working 
 under the supervision of Dr. Daniel Díaz at the Division of Biostatistics
 \, University of Miami. Tianhao received his M.Sc. in Biostatistics in 202
 0 from UM. His research centers around pattern recognition and clustering 
 using advanced statistical and machine learning methods. As an IDSC Fellow
 \, he hopes to explore how to make use of the eigenvectors with the smalle
 st eigenvalues in random graph models.\n\n \n\n\n\nChristian Ramsoomair\n\
 n3rd year MD/PhD in Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP)\n\n \n\nPROJ
 ECT TITLE: Locus-Specific Characterization of Transposable Elements in Gli
 oblastoma\n\n \n\nMENTORS:\nRavi Vadapalli\, PhD | Director\, Advanced Com
 puting\, IDSC\nAshish H. Shah\, MD | Department of Neurological Surgery\, 
 Miller School of Medicine\n\n \n\nChristian is in his first year of gradua
 te studies working under the mentorship of Drs. Danny Reinberg and Ashish 
 Shah in the Sheila and David Fuente Graduate Program in Cancer Biology. He
  received his Bachelor of Liberal Arts in Chemistry (concentration in Bioc
 hemistry) from College of the Holy Cross. During the IDSC Fellows program\
 , he is seeking to characterize the role of retroelements in Glioblastoma.
