Khalique Newaz

Ph.D. Student
Deparment of Computer Science and Engineering
University of Notre Dame


As of August 2018, I am a fourth year Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Notre Dame. I am working with Dr. Tijana Milenkovic.

I completed my M.Tech. in Computer science from IIIT Delhi, where I worked with Dr. Debajyoti Bera and Dr. K. Sriram.

Research


I am interested in developing and using network-based methods to study and understand biological phenomena.
