< Back Sandhya Prabhakaran Applied Research Scientist at Moffitt Cancer Center, Tampa, Florida WiML Mentorship Program 4th WiML Mentorship: Ph.D. Applications and Job Seekers 2024–2025 Dr. Sandhya Prabhakaran is a Research Scientist at Moffitt Cancer Centre, Florida. Before that she was a Research Scientist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre and Columbia University. Her Ph.D. in Computer Science is from University of Basel, and her Masters in Intelligent Systems (Robotics) is from University of Edinburgh. Sandhya’s research deals with developing statistical theory, mathematical mechanistic models (ODEs, Agent-based models, Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs)), vision transformers (ViTs) and Bayesian inference models, particularly to problems in Cancer Biology and Computer Vision. She works with both high-dimensional (images, genomics data) and low-dimensional data (experimental data), and is keen to find emerging patterns by integrating these dimensions. Her research has been funded by NVIDIA, Google and Python Software Foundation. Sandhya is interested in understanding the spatiotemporal dynamics of tumor-immune interactions (with and without drugs), and in studying these interactions at the patient level. These studies will redefine and model causal mechanisms driving disease evolution and response to treatment, shaping the next-generation of optimal cancer treatments. She is also eager to connect these studies with patient toxicity. Further, she is keen to translate her research into innovative technologies in the years ahead. Prior to academics, Sandhya was an Assembler programmer working with the Mainframe Operating System (z/OS) at IBM Software Laboratories and has developed Mainframe applications. She has completed 4 out of the 6 World Marathon Majors. What was your favorite part about serving as a WiML Mentor? “I enjoy the many rewarding aspects of mentoring, such as sharing knowledge, gaining new perspectives, building trust, and having the opportunity to "pay it forward" to those who helped me in the past.” Previous Next
