Jonathan Xu

I am an incoming PhD student in Genomics and Computational Biology at the University of Pennsylvania. I recently graduated from Penn with a B.S. in Statistics and Data Science from Wharton and an M.S. in Computer Science.

I am most excited about designing adaptive, precise nanoparticles from first principles to transform therapeutics, gene delivery, and human capability. Toward this goal, I hope to build autonomous AI systems and robotic wet labs that accelerate scientific discovery and open new frontiers in nanoscale material design.
