Prof. Yatish Turakhia

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) with a joint affiliation with the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), the Department of Bioengineering, and the Bioinformatics and Systems Biology (BISB) graduate program at UCSD. My lab is also affiliated with the Center of Machine-Integrated Computing and Security (MICS), the Center of Microbiome Innovation (CMI), and the Institute for Genomic Medicine (IGM) at UCSD.

For my research, I have been awarded the MIT Tech review 35 under 35 award and Amazon Award (rephrase this!)

Previously, I was a postdoctoral scholar at the Genomics Institute at UC Santa Cruz. I obtained my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University ('19) and my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Bombay ('14)

I lead the Turakhia Lab at UCSD and our team is looking for exceptionally talented and highly motivated PhD students and postdoctoral researchers to join us. Please visit the apply page for more information.
