I am Harihara Subrahmaniam Muralidharan and I am presently a bioinformatics engineer at LatchBio. Previously, I got my Ph.D. in computer science with a focus in bioinformatics and computational biology from the department of computer science at the University of Maryland, College Park. I had the good fortune of being advised by Prof. Mihai Pop and my work culminated in a thesis titled “Data-driven Algorithms for Charatcterizing Structural Variation in Metagenomic Data”.
Prior to graduate school, I spent 3 wonderful years at the TCS innovation labs at Chennai, India working on analytics for cyberphysical systems, mentored by Dr. Arunchandar Vasan, Dr. Venkatesh Sarangan and, Dr. Srinarayana Nagarathinam.
I was a research intern at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), Barcelona between Feb 2015 and Jun 2015 as a part of the Semester Abroad Programme (SAP) at SASTRA University. At UPC I worked with Prof. Tomàs Aluja Banet on Learning Analytics at the inLab.
