Please join us for a talk with Benjamin Smarr, PhD. Q & A to follow. About Benjamin Smarr | Dr. Smarr's research focuses on time series analysis in biological systems. He emphasizes practical information extraction for translational applications. His background in biological rhythms and neuroendocrinology gives him a rare perspective into the current challenges for data science and engineering on biological systems. His lab develops novel approaches to get more information out of data generated over time and within-individuals. Prof. Smarr's aim is to leverage his expertise in biological dynamics to increase precision in health algorithms, with a special focus on increasing equity of health tech efficacy over diverse populations. Dr. Smarr has received fellowships and funding from NSF, NIH, DoD, and many private partners, and his views have been featured by prominent media outlets, including BBC, Forbes, WIRED, and many others. He received his PhD from University of Washington and was a postdoc at UC Berkeley before joining the Shu Chen-Gene Lay Department of Bioengineering and the Halicioglu Data Science Institute at UCSD.
