Quan (King) Nguyen, a chemical & biomolecular engineering undergraduate that has been in the Weitz Group since 2020, has recently been accepted into the Vietnam Education Foundation (VEF) 2.0 program. Created by U.S. Congress in 2003 to “strengthen the bilateral relationship between the United States and Vietnam through educational exchange activities,” the program offers academic mentoring and […]
We are delighted to announce that the Weitz Grouprecently officially welcomed two Ph.D. students, Akash Arani and Raunak Dey. Akash is a first-year Quantitative Biosciences Ph.D. student in the School of Biological Sciences, while Raunak is a second-year Physics Ph.D. student. Learn more about Akash and Raunak.
Congratulations to Quantitative Biosciences Ph.D. student and Weitz Group member Siya Xie for joining the NIH T32 Integrative and Quantitative Biosciences Accelerated Training Environment (InQuBATE). As an affiliated scholar, Siya will participate in InQuBATE’s training workshops and events, learning how to “develop a mechanistic understanding of integrative living systems spanning molecules, cells, to populations.” Learn more […]
Recent Quantitative Biosciences Ph.D. graduate and former Weitz Group member Daniel Muratore is set to begin the Omidyar Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Santa Fe Institute (SFI) this September. As an Omidyar Fellow, Murature will have the opportunity to complete an up to three-year residency at SFI, where they will “contribute to the Institute’s research, advance the […]
The Health and Environment Allied Leadership (HEAL) Fellows Program is a NEW opportunity for Georgia Tech graduate students and postdocs in any GT college who are driven to make an impact in human and environmental health. Led by Dr. Gabi Steinbach and Prof. Weitz, this a 10-month program will allow fellow to connect with peers […]
On June 9th, 2022, Daniel Muratore successfully defended his dissertation entitled “Emergence of Marine Biogeochemical Dynamics Across Scales Drive by Complex Microbial and Viral Communities,’’ earning his Ph.D. in quantitative biosciences. Congratulations, Daniel! To learn more about Daniel’s dissertation, read the abstract below. Marine microbial populations are subject to the dual pressures of bottom-up nutrient limitation […]
The group recently officially welcomed first-year Quantitative Biosciences Ph.D. student Siya Xie. Siya is excited to begin research focusing the factors influencing the stoichiometric characteristics of marine bacteria, such as the carbon to nitrogen ratio in genome and proteins. She is also investigating the genomic mutations affecting bacterial susceptibility to viral infection and designing a […]
Esther Gallmeier, an undergraduate in the School of Mathematics and a Weitz Group member since fall 2021, is set to graduate tomorrow. Mentored by postdoctoral researcher Jeremy Harris, Gallmeier has spent her time in the Group conducting theoretical modeling research on the effects of correlations between population susceptibility and transmissibility on epidemic dynamics. This fall, […]
Applications are now open to register for the 6th annual QBioS hands-on modeling workshop. This in-person, hands-on workshop, organized by the first-year cohort of Quantitative Biosciences PhD students, the first-year cohort of InQuBATE PhD students, Prof. Joshua Weitz, and Prof. J.C. Gumbart, serves to introduce scientists of all experience levels to the process of modeling stochastic […]
Paris Sciences et Lettres (PSL) University hosted a winter school centered around Quantitative Viral Dynamics Across Scales. Organized by Prof. Weitz, the school ran for one week (March 21-25, 2022) in Paris, France, and aimed to “bring thought leaders in dialogue with the next generation of early-career scientists to advance the integrative study of quantitative viral […]
