Senior🎓
Top SchoolHenry Wong is a Computer Science PhD student at the University of Washington with a decade of experience at the intersection of molecular informatics, security, and AI. Advised by Yoshi Kohno and Jeff Nivala, he explores emerging attack vectors as genomic and molecular technologies converge with computing, while conducting applied AI and cyber security research at Sandia National Laboratories. His background includes genomics pipeline engineering, open-source tooling for DNA barcode analysis, and a first-author ACM KDD paper on adversarial attacks against IoT messaging. Henry pairs hands-on engineering—building cluster-optimized data pipelines and security automation—with teaching and product-focused work, from developing password-validation apps that saved millions to creating data-science educational content. He brings rare cross-domain fluency in bioinformatics, machine learning, and practical security, positioning him to anticipate and mitigate vulnerabilities in next-generation biotech systems.
