About Me: Naveen Ashish, currently Chief Scientist at Inferlink Corp., has been contributing to the field of data science for over two decades. At Inferlink, he leads a variety of innovative projects in applied AI and data science research and development. Prior to this, he was the founding head of data science at the Fred Hutch Cancer Research Center and held faculty positions in biomedical data science at USC and UC Irvine. He began his career as a Research Scientist at NASA Ames Research Center. Ashish was also the founder and Chief Data Scientist at Abzooba Inc., a health informatics startup (acquired by UST Global), and he recently founded Intellikgraph Consulting, a company focused on providing knowledge graph analytics solutions. He received his PhD in Computer Science from the University of Southern California, with a focus on AI and in the days of the emerging “AI Spring”. Ashish is an avid hiker, an activity he is looking to further amplify with his very recent move to the East Bay with its proximity to some of the best hiking spots in the region.

Office Hours:
About Me: I'm a third-year PhD Student in the Statistics Department. I'm working with Dr. Haiyan Huang to develop deep learning methods for identifying novel gene-gene relationships in known pathways from gene coexpression matrices. And with Dr. Gregory Goldgof at MSKCC, I'm currently developing computer vision and deep-learning-based tools to help pathologists predict patient outcomes from peripheral blood smears. I've interned as a data scientist for two companies--ShareMy.Health and Typenex Medical--and hope to do industry work related to computational medicine/biology post-graduation.
