Aditya Narayan Ravi

I am a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), where I work at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Computational Biology, and Statistics, under the guidance of Professor Ilan Shomorony. My research spans various topics, including Machine Learning, Algorithm Design, Sequence Alignment, Spatial Transcriptomics and DNA Storage.


I have been honored with the Joan and Lalit Bahl Fellowship twice and the prestigious Shun Lien Chuang Memorial Award for Excellence in Graduate Education, recognizing my contributions and dedication to advancing these fields.


My academic research journey has equipped me with a strong theoretical foundation in statistics and robust data science skills, allowing me to tackle complex problems with innovative solutions. Outside of my research, I enjoy playing guitar and rock climbing.
