Ziqi Zhang

I’m a Ph.D. student in the School of Computational Science and Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology. My advisor is Dr. Xiuwei Zhang.

I’m generally interested in developing machine learning algorithms to study cell regulatory mechanisms. My main research focuses are:

Integrating biological information from single-cell multi-omics datasets and single-cell datasets across experimental conditions, and obtaining new biological insight from the integration study.
Studying cell regulatory mechanisms including gene regulatory network, cross-modalities association network with graph learning algorithms.
