Summary
Haoyun Lei is an Advanced AI Engineer with eight years of interdisciplinary experience at the intersection of computational biology, machine learning, and bioinformatics, currently working on LLM engineering at Accenture’s Center of Advanced AI. A CMU-trained PhD candidate in Computational Biology with an MS in Machine Learning, he has led algorithm and model design for tumor deconvolution, MRD classifiers, and early cancer detection at GRAIL and in academic projects, achieving high accuracy on small datasets where other methods struggled. Haoyun combines practical software and optimization skills—Gurobi/SCIP MILP, coordinate descent for NMF, PCA, EM clustering—with applied ML like transfer learning and BERT fine-tuning for clinical text, reflecting a rare fluency across math, systems, and biology. Based in Menlo Park, he is drawn to problems that fuse imaging, genomics, and language signals to reveal hidden clinical relationships and scale biological discovery into industry-ready solutions. A less obvious strength is his track record of improving sensitivity on low-signal genomic panels and designing data augmentation frameworks that boost multi-cancer detection performance.
