Senior🎓
Top SchoolChao Pang is a Senior Data Engineer with 15 years of experience building data integration and semantic solutions for biomedical research, currently based in New York and transitioning from Columbia University Irving Medical Center to Formation Bio. He specializes in text mining, ontologies, semantic web technologies and pragmatic automation to reconcile heterogeneous clinical and biobank datasets so researchers can combine and analyze data faster. His PhD in Medical Informatics and hands-on work at EMBL-EBI inform a rare blend of deep domain knowledge and production engineering—programmatically generating ontologies and wiring OWL-based mappings into pipelines. Known for tackling terminology drift rather than insisting on one standard, he focuses on tools that enable retrospective harmonization and scale across institutions.
