Aviv Korman

Aviv (Vivi) is a student in the Bioengineering PhD Program at Stanford, co-advised by Prof. Ron Dror in Computer Science. Vivi received his B.S. and M.S. in Biophysics from the Humboldt University of Berlin, where he was mentored by Prof. Peter Hegemann (Experimental Biophysics Lab) and Prof. Edda Klipp (Theoretical Biophysics Lab). His main interest is in developing computational tools and machine learning methods to better guide protein screening, engineering, and design, currently focusing on opsin tools for optogenetics. Additionally, he is interested in representation learning for high-dimensional neural and behavioral sequence data.
