ChenHsieh/README.md

Chen (Benjamin) Hsieh Β· 謝晨

Bioinformatics PhD candidate at the University of Georgia, defending in Fall/Winter 2026. My dissertation is on gene duplication in Populus, but lately most of my attention has gone to genomic foundation models β€” specifically, how robust and interpretable they actually are.

The question I keep pulling on: these models post strong benchmark numbers, but biologically meaningless edits will still flip their predictions. I attack them under constraints a biologist would accept, then look inside to see what actually changed.

I'm looking for computational biology / ML research roles starting Fall 2026 β€” especially work on evaluating and interpreting models over biological sequence data β€” and I also do management consulting. Five peer-reviewed papers so far, mostly plant genomics.

Now

  • Probing the robustness & interpretability of genomic foundation models
  • Consulting part-time with the Computational Biology Consulting Group at UGA's Institute of Bioinformatics
  • Building portable, agent-driven research tooling

Selected work

agentic-research-toolkitPortable agentic research workflows (SKILL.md) written for discovery over confirmation
biosafe-genai-networkMapping the who's-who in biosafety + AI
HATCH2024-nutrigenomicsA plant-based diet planner for space missions β€” Snakemake + OpenAI API + Streamlit (HATCH 2024)
bioLOLPythonAnalyze biological sequences with internet slang β€” live demo
IOB_seminar_transcriptWhisper-transcribed archive of the UGA Institute of Bioinformatics seminar series

More, including a 14-day RNA-seq tutorial series, on my site.

The question I keep pulling on: these models post strong benchmark numbers, but biologically
meaningless edits will still flip their predictions. I attack them under constraints a biologist
would accept, then look inside to see what actually changed.
I'm looking for computational biology / ML research roles starting Fall 2026 β€” especially
work on evaluating and interpreting models over biological sequence data β€” and I also do
management consulting. Five peer-reviewed papers so far, mostly plant genomics.

Chen (Benjamin) Hsieh Β· 謝晨
Bioinformatics PhD candidate at the University of Georgia, defending in Fall/Winter 2026.
My dissertation is on gene duplication in Populus, but lately most of my attention has gone
to genomic foundation models β€” specifically, how robust and interpretable they actually are.
The question I keep pulling on: these models post strong benchmark numbers, but biologically
meaningless edits will still flip their predictions. I attack them under constraints a biologist
would accept, then look inside to see what actually changed.
