College of Engineering and College of Agriculture at Purdue University. She did her PhD in Biomedical Engineering from
Purdue, winning the Chorafas Dissertation Award and the Future Faculty Fellowship. She followed this up with a postdoc
in Biomedical Engineering from UT Austin and another postdoc in Computer Science from Purdue. She leads ICAN at Purdue.
Somali has received funding from NIH (R01), DOD (ARL), NSF (CISE-CNS, CAREER), USDA, as well as private industries like
Amazon and Adobe Research. She is an Associate Editor of BMC Bioinformatics and serves on the editorial board of the
Computational and Structural Biotechnology journal. Somali also serves on Program Committees of prestigious conferences

Zoom RoomICAN believes in a combination of open-source (copyleft) code and code to push our IP in the space of applied machine learning. With that in mind, we have our older bitbucket codebase with some public repositories and our new github codebase where our new codebases are being hosted.
