Shania Mitra is pursuing her master’s in Computational Science and Engineering at MIT, where she works on cutting-edge applications of Machine Learning at the Kellis Lab@CSAIL. Her research centers on developing advanced Graph Neural Network architectures to unravel the complexities of protein structures, with the ultimate goal of advancing healthcare by revolutionizing precision medicine and drug discovery. Shania’s passion for problem-solving extends beyond the lab; she enjoys experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, often while tending to her growing collection of plants. A book lover with a weakness for the perfect brownie, Shania brings the same curiosity to exploring new stories and cuisines that she does to exploring the frontiers of Machine Learning in healthcare.
