Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteve Niu is an AI data scientist with nine years of experience applying machine learning and statistical methods to challenging biomedical problems, currently building AI systems at Genentech in New York. He holds a Tri-Institutional PhD in Computational Biology & Medicine from Cornell and a strong track record in multimodal integration—developing unsupervised graph learning, network fusion, and optimal-transport approaches to link single-cell transcriptomics, proteomics, and imaging. His work spans production-quality pipelines (Dockerized CT/MRI DICOM processing, cloud apps) and deep learning for image segmentation, including a top-ranked fovea prediction model, plus large-scale NLP and NER systems built on billions of tweets. Active in the computational biology community, he served on the ICML workshop program committee and blends rigorous statistical thinking with practical engineering to push translational impact.
