Alexandra (Sasha) Portnova
aport6cs.washington.edu

I am excited about projects where engineering solutions meet medical needs, specifically those that enable individuals with disabilities interact with the world around them in a more inclusive environment. In the past, I have worked on developing affordable and customizable orthotic devices for individuals with spinal cord injuries and attempted to simplify control methods for complex prosthetic hands. As a postdoc at UW, I hope to harness the advancements in metamaterials and smart textiles to create custom solutions for assistance and rehabilitation needs of individuals with disabilities.

Alexander Sasse
CSE 270
asassecs.washington.edu

I am interested in applications of Deep Learning and Machine Learning in Genetics. We are trying to learn gene regulatory models from large-scale sequencing data to characterize the genetic sequences that determine molecular phenotypes. We focus on model interpretation to gain a better understanding of the underlying biological mechanisms that control changes in gene expression, and to identify the main trans-acting factors that are involved in these regulatory processes, such as transcription factors and RNA-binding proteins.
