Dr. David Crosslin
Professor Crosslin's current research program focuses on the area of precision medicine, with a combination of statistical genetics, biomedical informatics, implementation science, and computational / bioinformatics tools development. One implementation theme of his research program is the integration of genomics data into the electronic health record (EHR) for clinical decision support. As such, his program is in line with advancing the national electronic health information infrastructure in support of personalized medicine.

Dr. Xiang Ji
Dr. Ji’s research focuses on statistical phylogenetics, from model development to practical parallel computing library implementation. Dr. Ji is a developer of the BEAGLE library (https://github.com/beagle-dev/beagle-lib) and BEAST software package (https://beast.community/). His recent research has been on viral evolution, multigene family evolution and cancer evolution. He has been developing linear-time gradient algorithms for statistical phylogenetic models to apply them in Hamiltonian Monte Carlo methods. He has also been exploring efficient GPU implementations of afore-mentioned algorithms.
