Summary
Julia Wang is a Data ML Scientist and computational biologist with nine years of experience applying deep learning and probabilistic modeling to EEG, neural recordings, and multi-omic spatial and single-cell genomics. She earned a PhD in Computational Neuroscience from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, where she developed unsupervised VAE-based methods for characterizing spatiotemporal brain state heterogeneity, and has translated that research into industry roles building algorithms for transcriptomics and production ML systems. Based in Cambridge, MA, Julia blends theoretical rigor with practical engineering—from TensorFlow Extended model validation at Google to production ML and research scientist roles at biotech startups. She is passionate about storytelling with data and using models to reveal mechanistic insights across scales, often working at the intersection of time-series neural data and spatial genomics. An understated strength is her cross-domain fluency: she routinely bridges neuroscience theory, statistical methods, and scalable ML implementation to move ideas from concept to application.
