Leni Aniva
Ph.D. Student in Computer Science, admitted Autumn 2022
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy main research interest is Machine-Assisted Theorem Proving, which refers to using machine-learning agents to find proofs of mathematical theorems and conduct reasoning. We are pursuing a hybrid algorithm between neural networks and SMT solvers to solve some of the long standing problems facing machine learning models today such as opaqueness, hallucinations, and information leakage. I also do research on SMT solvers and automatic verifications of programs.

Elijah Appelson
Masters Student in Management Science and Engineering, admitted Autumn 2025
BioElijah Appelson is an activist, mathematician, and computational social scientist. From 2023 to 2025, he served as the first data analyst/scientist at the ACLU of Louisiana, focusing on immigration, policing, and the broader criminal legal system. There, he conducted statistical analyses for legal cases, supported policy change, and developed educational tools, including "Visualizing Police Violence in Louisiana" and "Policing in Louisiana: By the Facts". He is skilled in web scraping, predictive modeling, and data storytelling, and uses these tools to create accountability. Prior to the ACLU, he held roles at the Center for Community Alternatives and the Vera Institute of Justice, intersecting technical expertise with a commitment to civil rights. His academic interests center on using machine learning to hold state violence accountable through education, policy, and law.

Bella Archibald
Ph.D. Student in Bioengineering, admitted Autumn 2021
BioBella works in Professor Jennifer Brophy’s lab, and her research focuses on developing new tools to precisely engineer plants and plant root development. She hopes to create plants that are more drought tolerant and climate resilient, as well as plants with optimized root structures for enhanced bioremediation and resource recovery.
Outside of the lab, Bella loves skiing, hiking, and dancing, and her favorite flower is the Arrowleaf Balsamroot. -

Sujay Banerjee
Masters Student in Bioengineering, admitted Autumn 2025
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI develop deep learning models for genomic and molecular data to advance precision medicine. My work spans deep learning-based methods for structural variant detection in genome sequencing, diabetetes risk prediction, and protein–ligand binding affinities predicion. I’m broadly interested in how AI can accelerate drug discovery, uncover disease mechanisms, and improve individualized healthcare.
