Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJared Bennett is a Sr. Bioinformatics Engineer and biophysicist with 11 years building high-performance simulation, modeling, and analysis platforms at the intersection of computation and biology. He holds a PhD in Biophysics from UC Berkeley and dual bachelor’s degrees in biochemistry/molecular genetics and physics from Ohio State, and has translated that multidisciplinary training into scalable agent-based and stochastic models for gene drives, mosquito-borne disease, and genomics. Jared has led development of multithreaded C++ and R spatial-genomics tools, production RNA‑seq pipelines, and reinforcement-learning systems for space applications, demonstrating an unusual ability to move research code into robust, operational workflows. He combines deep domain knowledge of molecular mechanisms with practical software engineering—optimizing performance, reproducibility, and small-sample ML—for both academic and government stakeholders. Outside work he codes for fun, plays classical piano/organ, and obsessively experiments in the kitchen, a habit that mirrors his iterative, hands-on approach to scientific software.
