My name is Sanjana Gummalla and I am a rising junior at Virginia Tech, majoring in Computer Science with a minor in Biomedical Engineering. I’m deeply interested in using CS and Data Science/AI in healthcare, so I’m super excited to work as an intern at NSF Compass Center and use data science and machine learning aspects for Pandemic Prevention! In my free time, I love painting, cooking, and writing!
Fun Fact: I’ve moved seven times!
A world where we can accurately foresee pandemics and minimize their impact. We seek to forecast and control future viral pandemics by addressing the grand challenge of uncovering the genetic, molecular, cellular, and chemical rules of life underlying pathogen-host interactions through community-based and ethically grounded research.
