Tin Nguyen

Building connections between disciplines, Tin Nguyen explores the intricate realms of computer science and biomedical research as an Associate Professor in the Computer Science and Software Engineering department at Auburn University. With a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Wayne State University, he has dedicated his career to advancing the fields of data science and machine learning, with a particular focus on disease subtyping, pathway analysis, and single-cell analysis. Dr. Nguyen's groundbreaking research has garnered significant attention, notably through a $1.8 million NIH-funded study aimed at developing a pioneering platform for single-cell data analysis. This project underscores his commitment to leveraging computational techniques to unravel complex biological data, ultimately contributing to more precise and personalized medical interventions. In addition to his work on single-cell analysis, Dr. Nguyen has secured a $1.2 million grant from the National Institute of Health to enhance cancer diagnosis through advanced data analysis. His research seeks to identify optimal methods for diagnosing cancer subtypes, potentially transforming how these diseases are understood and treated. Dr. Nguyen's contributions extend beyond his research, as he actively engages in interdisciplinary collaborations and mentors the next generation of computer scientists. His work not only bridges the gap between computational and biological sciences but also paves the way for innovative solutions to some of the most pressing challenges in healthcare today.
