Darya after a day on the lake
Darya Filippova
Hello, California!
I have defended my thesis in July, finished some projects at the lab, and now moved to California to join the Sequencing Unit as a principal scientist at Roche Molecular Diagnostics.
Short bio
I am a fifth-year PhD student in computer science at Carnegie Mellon University, I am interested in algorithms for processing and modeling using high-throughput biological data as well as information visualization. My advisor is Carl Kingsford. I started my undergraduate career in Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics (CMC) at Lomonosov Moscow State University and transferred to University of Maryland in my 3rd year. I received a B.S. in Mathematics and Computer Science in 2007 and M.S. in Computer Science in 2009. After a short break, I joined Maryland's computer science PhD program in the Fall of 2010. I transferred to CMU's computer science program with my advisor in 2012 and defended my thesis in 2015.
