Jian Ma (Chinese: 马坚) is an American computer scientist and computational biologist.[1] He is the Ray and Stephanie Lane Professor of Computational Biology in the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University.[2][3][4] He is a faculty member in the Ray and Stephanie Lane Computational Biology Department. His lab develops machine learning algorithms to study the structure and function of the human genome[5] and cellular organization and their implications for evolution, health and disease. During his Ph.D. and postdoc training, he developed algorithms to reconstruct the ancestral mammalian genome.[6] His research group has recently pioneered a series of new machine learning methods for 3D epigenomics, comparative genomics, spatial genomics, and single-cell analysis. He received an NSF CAREER award in 2011.[7] In 2020, he was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship[8][9][10] in Computer Science. He is an elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.[11] He leads an NIH 4D Nucleome Center to develop machine learning algorithms to better understand the cell nucleus.[5][12] He is the Program Chair for RECOMB 2024.[13]
