Jiacheng Miao
Hi! I am Jiacheng, a Data Science Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford, working with Jonathan Pritchard and James Zou.
I am building AI co-scientists to reshape how science is communicated and applied, and characterizing the omnigenic architecture of complex diseases using Perturb-seq.
Previously, I received my Ph.D. at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, advised by Qiongshi Lu and Lauren Schmitz. I completed my B.S. in Department of Mathematics at Nanjing University. During my Ph.D., I developed methods and theory for trustworthy use of AI/ML-generated data in scientific analyses and for understanding how genes and the environment jointly influence human complex traits.
Here are my selected papers, software I've open-sourced, google scholar, and CV.
