Senior🎓
Top SchoolShrikant Pawar is a tenure-track Assistant Professor and computational biologist with nine years of experience building bioinformatics and AI-driven solutions across academia and startups. He co-founded ChestAi, an open-source AI platform for chest X-ray diagnosis, and contributes practical ML and HPC implementations (OpenACC, GPU/OpenGL) for genomics and medical imaging. At Claflin University and as a Yale research affiliate he teaches and mentors dozens of students while coordinating a Bioinformatics major and leading interdisciplinary projects spanning single-cell transcriptomics to AI-enabled medical devices. His toolset spans R/Python, Java/C++, web and GPU stacks, and domain tools like Trinity, MACS2, and Autodock, enabling end-to-end pipelines from sequencing to structural modeling. He blends hands-on software engineering with grant-backed translational research (NSF SC EPSCoR, ADAPT) and a track record of placing students into graduate programs and industry. Unusually for an academic, he maintains active startup and open-source footprints—publishing code on GitHub and commercial listings for ChestAi—bridging research, teaching, and productization.
