Mona Singh (scientist)

Education

Singh was educated at Indian Springs School,[1] Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology where she was awarded a PhD in 1996[3] for research supervised by Ron Rivest and Bonnie Berger.[6]

Career and research

Singh's research interests[7][8] are in computational biology, genomics, bioinformatics and their interfaces with machine learning and algorithms.[9][10][11][12]

Awards and honors

Singh was awarded a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) from the National Science Foundation (NSF) in 2001.[13] She was elected a Fellow of the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) in 2018 for “outstanding contributions to the fields of computational biology and bioinformatics”.[2] She was elected an ACM Fellow in 2019 “for contributions to computational biology, spearheading algorithmic and machine learning approaches for characterizing proteins and their interactions”.[14]
