Rohan Subramanian

I'm a second-year PhD student at NYU Courant advised by Prof. Romain Lopez in the BioML Group and CILVR Lab. My interests lie at the intersection of machine learning and biology. I'm grateful to be supported by the NSF GRFP.

I graduated in 2025 from Harvey Mudd College in Claremont, where I studied computer science with a humanities concentration in music.

I spent a summer at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center working with Wesley Tansey in Computational Oncology. At Harvey Mudd, I've had the privilege to work with Gabriel Hope on deep generative models and Danae Schulz on parasite gene regulation. Previously, I worked with Debashis Sahoo at UC San Diego, where I investigated Boolean network models of biological systems.

Research Interests

My research sits at the intersection of machine learning and biology, where I seek to develop robust and interpretable methods for understanding complex biological systems using representation learning and generative modeling. Currently, I am interested in applications to single-cell and perturbation biology, particularly immune cells in health, cancer, and inflammatory diseases.

My Work

Publications, presentations, and other research projects.
