My name is Michael Shiferaw, and I am a second-year PhD student studying in the field of tissue regeneration. I hold both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in Cell and Molecular Biology. I recently got interested in actively learning the fundamentals of ML so that I can use it to better understand the underlying patterns in biological datasets. My initial passion for biology stemmed from the fascinating complexity of cellular processes that impact our daily lives. Recognizing the vast amounts of data generated in biological research, I believe it is crucial to apply advanced computational tools—proven effective in other big data fields—to accelerate research and drive significant discoveries.
