Personal Statement: “I look back fondly on the time I spent at DBMI as a graduate student from 2013 to 2017. The program gave me freedom to customize my education. I took courses across a variety of departments and had a once in a lifetime opportunity to learn from the greatest minds. DBMI also gave me dedicated undisturbed time to think deeply. My research advisor, Shyam Visweswaran, was and still is very supportive. The freedom, mentors and time allowed me to identify, tackle and eventually solve many important problems in biomedical informatics. I learned how to do research that I enjoyed. As a result, I continued to pursue similar research afterwards and still apply the lessons I learned at DBMI on a daily basis to this day.”
