Assistant Professor, Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences
Research interests include computational hydrology, with a focus on deep learning, physically based models and hybrid differentiable models. Also scientific computing and open science.
The Liang group studies molecular systems medicine. The current work in our group focuses on three areas: (epi)genomics and precision medicine, regulatory RNA, and cellular metabolism, as they relate to hypertension, cardiovascular and kidney disease.
Assistant Professor, Animal & Comparative Biomedical Sciences
Multidisciplinary approach to study the dynamics of zoonotic infectious diseases. We develop computational, mathematical and data-driven models to understand the ecology and evolution of infectious diseases at the wildlife, livestock and human interface.
Our research is motivated by the threads that climate change imposes on the agricultural and natural plant ecosystem. Therefore, we develop imaging and simulation approaches to understand the function of natural variation in plants
Assistant Research Professor, R Ken Coit College of Pharmacy
Statistical genetics and genomics, including computational methods for analyzing large-scale sequencing data, rare variant association analysis, genomics-driven drug target discovery and precision medicine
Assistant Professor of Systems and Industrial Engineering
Research is focused on the design, analysis, and implementation of stochastic approximation methods for solving convex optimization and stochastic variational inequality problems with applications in machine learning, game theory, and power systems.
