ADELE MYERS
Hi, I'm Adele Myers,
a Theoretical Physics Ph.D. student in the BioShape Lab at UC Santa Barbara, using Riemannian geometry and machine learning for biological shape analysis.
Previously at Pomona College, studying physics and mathematics.
HI, I'M ADELE MYERS
Who I Am
Welcome to my website! Here you will find information about my current research, my past projects, and my future aspirations.
A bit about me:
I am a graduate student at UC Santa Barbara pursuing a Ph.D. in theoretical physics.
I work with Nina Miolane in the Bioshape Lab, using machine learning and differential geometry to develop advanced methods of biological shape analysis. Our latest work developed the first "Regression-Based Elastic Metric Learning" scheme, which analyzes biological cell shapes changing over time to 1) improve predictions of future cell shapes and 2) quantify how much a cell bends and stretches over time.
I am a Goldwater Scholar and an NSF Data Driven Biology Fellow. I received the UCSB Dean's fellowship from the Dean of Mathematical, Life, and Physical Sciences.
I am driven by a desire to build interpretable machine learning techniques for better understanding of physical systems.
I have a B.A. from Pomona College, where I majored in physics and minored in mathematics.
I enjoy distance running, spending time in the Santa Barbara ocean and mountains, and yoga. In college, I swam on the varsity swim team in college.
(Almost) all photos on this website were taken by me. Thanks for visiting.
