The Team
Lesia Bilitchenko
Lesia is a 4th year Computer Science major at Cal Poly Pomona. She joined the iGEM 2009 team through the SUPERB program and absolutely enjoyed the experience. Her previous research was in computer vision and place recognition. She intends to pursue graduate studies in parallel computing. Lesia worked on Eugene during the summer. Her non-academic interests include running, reading, watching movies and learning new (both programming and spoken) languages.
Joanna Chen
Joanna is a 4th year Bioengineering major with a concentration in computational bioengineering at UC Berkeley. Last summer, she did research in a lab working on ab initio protein structure prediction. For iGEM this summer, Joanna worked on the Spectacles visualization tool. She is also an officer in the CA-Alpha chapter of Tau Beta Pi, the Engineering Honor Society. Outside of academics, she enjoys playing the piano, working on crafts projects with beads, and making unit origami.
Adam Liu
Adam is a 4th year Electrical Engineering and Computer Science major at UC Berkeley. His previous experience includes interships with software companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen, China. After graduating, he hopes to pursue a career in software development or systems administration. Adam worked on Eugene during the summer. Non-academic interests include ping-pong, volleyball, video games, movies, drawing, and traveling.
Richard Mar
Thien Nguyen
Thien is a 4th year Computer Science "single" major at UC Berkeley. He learns about synthetic biology from this year iGEM experience and love it. He want to pursue graduate research in computer science with application to bioengineering. His past computer research was pattern recognition in data processing. This summer he works on Kepler workflows integration. Apart from academic works, he enjoys collecting movies and games, hiking and having fine tea.
Nina Revko
Bing Xia
Bing is a 4th year Applied Math, Molecular Biology, and Computer Science triple major at UC Berkeley. He was on the 2008 Berkeley Wet Lab iGEM team. His research interests mainly lie in computational biology, and he hopes to pursue graduate studies in this field after he graduates. Bing worked on the data model portion of Clotho this summer. Some of his non-academic interests include running, taekwondo, piano, and origami.
Douglas Densmore
Doug is a post doc currently with the Synthetic Biology Engineering Research Center (SynBERC). He works with researchers at UC Berkeley, Stanford, the University of Washington, and the Joint BioEnergy Institute to develop new tools for bio-design automation. He received his Bachelors of Science in Engineering (Computer Engineering) from the University of Michigan in 2001. He received his Masters of Science and PhD in Electrical Engineering 2004 and 2007 from the University of California at Berkeley. He was the team leader for UC Berkeley's 2008 iGEM team as well. In his spare time he enjoys camping, video games, radio controlled cars, classic hip hop music, basketball, and movies.
