Summary
Shaoheng Liang is a computational biologist and machine learning researcher with a PhD in Computer Science and eight years of experience bridging academic research and industry consulting. Currently a Lane Fellow at Carnegie Mellon’s Computational Biology Department, he applies deep learning (PyTorch, TensorFlow/Keras) and classical methods across bioinformatics projects while consulting for biotech firms on sequencing panel development and computational solutions. Proficient in Python, C++, R, MATLAB and Java, he is comfortable building hybrid pipelines that move models from research prototypes to production-ready workflows. Trained at Rice University and with practical experience at MD Anderson and NuProbe, he combines rigorous theoretical grounding with hands-on assay optimization and software engineering. An understated strength is his fluency in both low-level implementation and high-level model design, enabling rapid iteration on complex experimental datasets.
