PHD Student at McGill University
Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Summary
🎓
Top SchoolEvangeline Gao is a PhD student at McGill with a strong foundation in computational neuroscience and medical informatics, combining eight years of research and programming experience with an MS from Yale. She builds end-to-end ML and NLP pipelines for clinical data—having parsed and annotated unstructured EMR notes to train NER models—and has hands-on neurophysiology analysis experience merging spikes and LFPs for population-level inference. Skilled in Python, MATLAB, and tools like spaCy and Prodigy, she translates messy biomedical data into reproducible analyses and visualizations using rigorous statistical testing. Notably, her work has revealed counterintuitive neural attention effects and she has mentored teams and students while teaching intermediate CS concepts. Passionate about applying machine learning to improve health, she seeks roles that bridge computational methods and real-world clinical impact.
