Hello everyone! I am Lanisha Howze (she/her), and I am an online curriculum manager at Morehouse School of Medicine. I am here to learn about BDC in order to provide support to our instructors and students. I do hope to utilize it in my personal research as I am a doctoral candidate currently at Samford University.
I am Jill Keith (she/her) and am a Professor of Biochemistry at Winston-Salem State University. I synthesize small molecules that can address diseases/disorder. Currently using data science to find a cure for drug addiction.
Hi I'm Chuang Peng, Professor of Mathematics at Morehouse College, mathematician by training. In addition teaching Mathematics, I have been teaching statistics, programming, data science, and bioformatics. First cohort of faculty members at AUCC for its data science initiative. Still very excited for all the projects/workshops/webinars with data science.
Hi, I am Widodo Samyono, Associate Professor of Mathematics at Jarvis Christian University, Hawkins, TX 75765. I have designed and been teaching Introduction to Statistics and Data Mining, doing research in Computational and Mathematical Biology. Currently, at Jarvis I have used data from the in viltro laboratory experiments for treating cancer cells with nano particles to do the mathematical modeling. After the workshop I will extend the topics of my current research by adding the topics from this workshop.
