Dr. Falk Schuetzenmeister is currently a Geospatial Software Engineer at the Nature Conservancy.

Jasmine Nirody

Alumni Council
Former BIDS Data Science Fellow

Jasmine Norida's lab studies the physics of how organisms interact with (heterogeneous, dynamic) natural environments, and how these interactions shape organismal form and behavior. The lab asks questions that sit at the intersection of behavior, biophysics, and evolution, and uses both theoretical and experimental tools to work with a wide range of organismal systems.

Former BIDS Data Science Fellow

Dmitriy’s work is concerned with geometric and topological data analysis, especially with the development of efficient algorithms and software in this field.

Fatma Deniz

Alumni Council
Former BIDS Data Science Fellow

Fatma Deniz is interested in how sensory information is encoded in the brain and uses machine learning approaches to fit computational models to large-scale brain data acquired using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Fatma works at the intersection between computer science, linguistics, music, and neuroscience. Her current focus is on the cross-modal representation of language in the human brain.

Ivana Malenica

BIDS Data Science Fellow
Biostatistics, UC Berkeley

Ivana Malenica is a Ph.D. student in the Biostatistics Division working with Mark van der Laan. She earned her Master’s in Biostatistics and Bachelor’s in Mathematics, and spent a year working as a Freeport-McMoRan research fellow in Data Science and Bioinformatics at the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen). Some of her prior work centers around mathematical modeling and Bayesian models for allele specific expression. Very broadly, her research interests span non/...
