Hi There. My name is Subhodeep Moitra.

I am a Masters student in the Language Technologies Institute, School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. I am working with Prof. Judith Klein Seetharaman and Prof. Christopher James Langmead on problems in Computational Biology.

My primary areas of interest are Computational Biology, Machine Learning and Statistics.

I was born in the city of New Delhi and since then have stayed in a number of places for varying lengths of time. I like learning new languages and so far have made an attempt in Bengali, Hindi, Tamil, English, French, German and Spanish. I love running. I will be doing the Pittsburgh Marathon and I will be running for AID, a charitable cause.

Many of the problems in Biology can be cast in terms of networks of interacting entities. Very often these have patterns similar to social network behavior. At some level, social behavior is a very very high level of abstraction from the molecular entities inside our body. I hope to gain some insights into the prevalent methods in social media and how they might be applied to biological problems.
