Amy Jang is the President of Systems Biology and an Egleston Scholar in Columbia Engineering. At the Columbia Engineering Laboratory for Intelligent Imaging and Neural Computing she is applying data science and machine learning algorithms to analyze how speakers’ gestures and audio affect audience’s comprehension and grasp of knowledge. At the Neurorehabilitation Research Lab, she is working to find neurophysiological motor responses of gait initiation in Huntington's and Parkinson's Disease. She has a keen interest and love for all things STEM, with a focus on bioinformatics. Previously, Amy interned at the USC Information Science Institute where she developed a prototype semantic representation of ENIGMA, a global neuroscience consortium. She published her work in multiple research papers and technical papers. In addition to USC, Amy also collaborated with Edwards Lifesciences to create a prototype version of an automated heart valve sewing machine. Her passion for STEM also led to her participating in many club-related activities. Currently, she is on the executive board of Columbia Data Science Society and Columbia Systems Biology Initiative. Outside of STEM and volunteering, Amy loves to play piano, to watch musicals, and to partake in adrenaline-rushed activities.
