Jingyou Rao

PhD student @ UCLA Computer Science

Hi, my name is Jingyou (Rose) Rao, and I’m currently a first-year Computer Science PhD student at University of California, Los Angeles working with Harold Pimentel. I’m interested in the study of gene functions and interactions through statistics and machine learning.

Previously, I completed my bachelor’s degree programs in Computer Science and Computational and Systems Biology at University of California, Los Angeles.
