Summary
Raymond Louie is a Lecturer in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics at UNSW with eight years of interdisciplinary research experience bridging electrical engineering, statistics, and immunogenomics. He applies statistical inference and machine learning to single-cell and viral sequence data, focusing on immune responses in viral infection, celiac disease, and CAR T therapy patients. His trajectory—from a PhD in Electrical Engineering and ARC postdoc in wireless communications to research roles at HKUST, UNSW Medicine, and the Garvan Institute—gives him a unique ability to translate signal-processing and communications methods into biological insights. He has contributed to vaccine-relevant analyses for HIV and HCV and develops inference tools for studying viral evolution. Based in Sydney, he combines hands-on computational tool development with collaborative translational projects that inform both basic biology and clinical intervention. A less obvious strength is his background in wireless communications, which he leverages to innovate on noisy, high-dimensional biological data problems.
