Rohan Koodli
PhD Student at Stanford
I'm a PhD student at the Stanford AI Lab (SAIL), advised by Ron Dror, where I develop ML methods for molecular biology applications. Previously, I graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, where I earned my Bachelor's and Master's degrees. As of summer 2023, I'm interning at Microsoft Research, working with Eric Horvitz.
At Berkeley, I was a member of the Yosef Lab, where I developed VAE models for single-cell genomics data as part of the scvi-tools team. Previously, I built RNA design algorithms and benchmarks in Rhiju Das's Lab. I've also interned at Google Cloud ('19), Google Search ('20), and Atomic AI ('22).
In my free time, I enjoy running, volleyball, and speed cubing. I support the Golden State Warriors and SF Giants, and have recently gotten into Formula 1. I also have a blog.
