Lab members
Mohammad Hadigol is an NJCCR Postdoctoral Fellow at the Rutgers Cancer
Institute. He received his
Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Colorado
Boulder, focusing on uncertainty quantification of high-dimensional
stochastic problems with applications to Lithium-ion batteries. At
Rutgers, he is developing diagnostic pipelines using
calibrated deep-sequencing techniques. He
enjoys hiking and backpacking.
Nahed Jalloul is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Rutgers Cancer
Institute. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Rennes 1,
where she designed a system of acquisition and movement analysis for
detecting the presence of a major motor dysfunction in Parkinson’s
disease patients. As a postdoc, she developed a clinical trial protocol to
validate this system. Before joining Rutgers, Nahed was a
lecturer at the American University of Beirut. Her personal
interests include sports, and spending time with family and friends.
Amartya Singh is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Physics and
Astronomy at Rutgers University.
His research interests in Physics are in low dimensional quantum
magnetism. He is now working on clinically relevant computational
approaches to understand the systems level biology of cancer. He
is co-advised by Prof. Gyan Bhanot.
Jui Wan Loh is an NJCCR Pre-doctoral Fellow and a Ph.D. candidate in the Graduate Program of
Microbiology and Molecular Genetics at Rutgers University. Her
research interests are in developing computational modeling approaches to study
cancer. She will particularly focus on investigating evolution of
leukemia in patients as well as animal models. She enjoys swimming and biking.
Srinivas Rajagopalan is an undergraduate researcher studying
Biomathematics at Rutgers University, New Brunswick. He is planning
on pursuing further graduate study in the field of computational
biology in order to study cancer genomics. In his free time, he
enjoys playing Spikeball (a unique cross of volleyball and
Foursquare) and long distance running, as well as solving problems
in number theory.
Alumni
Caitlin Guccione is an undergraduate at the Universtiy of Rhode Island
and a 2018
DIMACS fellow. She is studying mathematics and computer
science along with pursuing a masters degree in applied
mathematics.
Simon Bird is an undergraduate at the Rutgers University School of
Arts and Sciences and a
2017
DIMACS fellow. He is studying mathematics, and plans to pursue a
graduate degree in applied mathematics.
Anthony Fratella-Calabrese is a Summa Cum Laude graduate of the Rutgers School
of Environmental and Biological Sciences. Anthony is now a medical student
at Rutgers NJMS.
Affiliations

Hossein Khiabanian is an Assistant Professor of Pathology in Medical
Informatics. He received his Ph.D. in
Physics from Brown University, where he studied galaxy clusters and
dark matter structures, using weak gravitational lensing. Prior to joining Rutgers,
Hossein was a member of the Departments of Systems Biology and Biomedical
Informatics at Columbia University. He is
