Hi I am Hirak, a Ludwig Princeton Scholar at the Princeton University. I work in the field of cancer-genomics under the guidance of Prof. Ben Raphael, and Prof. Yibin Kang. I also collaborate with Prof. Eileen White’s lab at the Cancer Institute of New Jersey.
Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at Harvard with Prof. Peter Kharchenko (till mid-2022) . I completed my PhD in Computer Science from the University of Maryland under the guidance of Prof. Rob Patro.
The following are broadly my current research interests. See also my list of publications.
- Computational Biology
- Spatial Transcriptomics
- Machine Learning
- Algorithms
