Andrew Engedal

Ph.D. Student, QCB

Andrew is a Ph.D. student in Quantitative and Computational Biology, co-advised by Ned Wingreen. Andrew studied Math and Biology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. While at Madison, Andrew built low-cost field cameras to analyze cranberry growth stages under Dr. Jyostna Mura and led the Wisconsin Robotics team in building a simulation Mars rover. Andrew also interned at the National Institute of Theory and Mathematics in Biology (NITMB) with Dr. Niall Mangan to develop data-driven dynamical systems models of mammalian hibernation. In the Brangwynne lab, Andrew is interested in ribosome biogenesis, ribosome heterogeneity, and the role of biomolecular condensates in genetic regulation. In his free time, Andrew enjoys making electronics, taking care of his plants, and doing math puzzles.
