Nishat Anjum Bristy

I am a third year PhD student in the Ray and Stephanie Lane Computational Biology Department at Carnegie Mellon University. I am fortunate to be advised by Dr. Russell Schwartz. My research interests broadly lie in the area of -

• Tumor Phylogeny
• Bulk and Single-cell multi-omics
• Algorithms
• Machine Learning for Health
• Discrete and Continuous Optimization Problems

I have completed my undergraduate studies in Computer Science and Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, where I worked under the supervision of Dr. Md. Shamsuzzoha Bayzid on alignment-based and alignment-free phylogenetic distance estimation.

Apart from work, I am enthusiastic about swimming and reading.
