Wangjun is a PhD student in the Velten lab. He has a background in molecular biotechnology and a strong interest in computer science. He enjoys drawing inspiration from problems in computer science, finding their parallels in biology, and adapting those frameworks to answer biological questions, an approach that could be described as translational statistics.
In his PhD, Wangjun studies spatial patterns across scales, from the subcellular to the tissue level. He develops computational methods to identify these patterns, with the goal of linking them to biological outcomes relevant for diagnostics.
Outside of work, Wangjun enjoys sports such as running and weightlifting. He is also a fan of coffee, art, and film photography, and he likes listening to podcasts.
