Hasan Ayaz is an Associate Research Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA, USA, and a Member of Cognitive Neuroengineering and Quantitative Experimental Research (CONQUER) Collaborative, Philadelphia, PA, USA. He received his B.S. degree in electrical and electronics engineering at Bogazici University, Istanbul, Turkey, with high honors. Starting in 2001, he worked on developing optical biomedical systems such as continuous wave functional near infrared sensors, FDA approved portable medical devices, and enabling software for brain monitoring instruments that were licensed and globally distributed. The research interests include neuroengineering applications of human computer interaction and neuroergonomics.

My research investigates the neuroscience of speech comprehension, aging, and hearing impairment using a combination of behavioral and brain imaging methods. More at our lab website, http://peellelab.org.

Casey is an assistant professor in the Department of Systems Pharmacology and Translational Therapeutics in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. His lab develops deep learning methods that integrate distinct large-scale datasets to extract the rich and intrinsic information embedded in such integrated data. This approach reveals underlying principles of an organism’s genetics, its environment, and its response to that environment. Extracting this key contextual information reveals where the data’s context doesn’t fit existing models and raises the questions that a complete collection of publicly available data indicates researchers should be asking. In addition to developing deep learning methods for extracting context, a core mission of his lab is bringing these capabilities into every molecular biology lab. Before starting the Integrative Genomics Lab in 2012, Casey earned his Ph.D. for his study of gene-gene interactions in the field of computational genetics from Dartmouth College in 2009 and moved to the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics at Princeton University where he worked as a postdoctoral fellow from 2009-2012. The overarching theme of his work has been the development and evaluation of methods that acknowledge the emergent complexity of biological systems.

I am a postdoc studying network neuroscience in the Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania.

Research soil carbon biogeochemistry and the mechanisms of soil organic matter stabilization. Teach intro environmental science, soil science, biogeochemistry, Anthropocene.

PhD in Mathematics from UMCP in 1995. Research Associate Professor in the Dept. of Genetics at the University of Pennsylvania specializing in bioinformatics.

I am a pediatric oncologist and bioethicist whose research addresses ethical and policy issues in science and in human subjects research, in cancer medicine, in pediatrics, and in genetics and genomics.

I am an experimental physicist, focused on applications of diffuse optical spectroscopy and imaging to human diseases. My work has involved instrument design, construction, and control, and advanced data analysis techniques.

Most of my past projects involved detection and staging of breast cancer with multi-modal imaging (esp. MRI); my current work focuses on brain injury during ischemic stroke and ECMO therapy. I am involved in projects applying diffuse optics to a variety of other conditions, including muscle disease and brain function.
