Hi there! I'm Michael Zietz. I'm a data scientist and genetics researcher, focused on developing new statistical and machine learnings methods with applications in healthcare and biomedicine. 𧬠I'm currently finishing my PhD in Biomedical Informatics at Columbia University DBMI, working with Nick Tatonetti. π Before that, I studied Physics at Penn, where did research on heterogeneous networks in the Greene Lab. πΈοΈ I'm interested in methods development, reproducible research, and accelerating the pace of scientific progress on complex diseases. π₯
