Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolYasa Baig is a doctoral researcher at Stanford bridging bioengineering, machine learning, and high-performance GPU computing to tackle AI4Science problems in 'omics, PDEs, and biophysics. With eight years of research and engineering experience spanning Cambridge, Harvard, Duke, and Memorial Sloan Kettering, they combine theoretical physics and systems biology with production-grade software — from developing open-access bioinformatics tools to running large scientific clusters. Co-advised by Steve Quake and Chris Ré, Yasa has a track record of translating wet-lab questions into computational pipelines and novel ML methods, and co-founded the largest student AI engineering group in the NC Research Triangle. Their work uniquely blends numerics and active-matter theory with practical GPU acceleration, reflecting a rare mix of deep theory, experimental insight, and scalable engineering.
