The pronunciation was made by the Simon Foundation the coordinator of the programme which aim to support the researchers who moved fields to accelerate the processes, thereby removing the obstacles as a result of the move.
Albert Keung constitute the cohorts of seven (7) researchers drawn from education institutions across United States that make the first class of the Pivot Fellows. The fellowship target the scientists whose works are in the area of engineering, data science, computer science, mathematics and natural sciences.
During the one year fellowship Albert Keung a Synthetic Biologist and Stem Cell Engineer will receive mentoring, salary, research, travel and professional development funding just like any other fellows. He will be eligible apply for a research award for three (3) years worth $1.5million in new field after the fellowship.
Keung’s research interests ranges the persistence and memory in eukaryotic cellular systems, synthetic chromatin biology, addiction and neurodevelopmental disorders, stem cell engineering and DNA-based information storage.
A publication by Simon Foundation stated that during the fellowship Keurig a Goodnight Early Career Innovator will
Immerse himself in the field of interpretable machine learning through the expertise and mentorship of Cynthia Rudin of Duke University. Specifically, he will focus on key approaches to deal with the sparsity of representation, especially in the context of the immense diversity of human health and biology, and how interpretable machine-learning methods can promote responsible and equitable models in the face of this challenge.
Professor Albert Keung was educated at University of California, Berkeley where he earned his PhD degree in Chemical Engineering in 201. He obtained his BS in Chemical Engineering at Stanford University in 2006.
He was a National Institutes of Health Postdoctoral Fellow at Boston University and at Massachusetts Institutes of Technology (MIT)
His mentor at the fellowship: Cynthia Rudin of Duke University will receive the sum of $50,000.00.
