Dileep Kishore

Dileep obtained his B.Tech and M.Tech in Biotechnology with a minor in Operations Research from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (May 2016) and is currently pursuing his Ph.D. in Bioinformatics. He is interested in modeling microbial interactions and their interactions with their hosts. In the Segrè lab, he works on building a database of microbial interactions and a tool to explore them through networks, a kinetic model of the effect of microbial metabolites on the human AHR pathway, and a reinforcement learning model exploring microbial interactions and their dynamics in a community. His other interests include algorithm development, quantified-self, and artificial intelligence. In his spare time, Dileep loves working on open-source software, reading, hacking his window manager and text editor, reading, and exploring productivity tools.
