Mona Singh is the Wang Family Professor in Computer Science in the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics and the Department of Computer Science at Princeton University. [4] She is Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Computational Biology.

Education

Singh was educated at Indian Springs School, [3] Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology where she was awarded a PhD in 1996 [2] for research supervised by Ron Rivest and Bonnie Berger. [5]

Career and research

Singh's research interests [6] [7] are in computational biology, genomics, bioinformatics and their interfaces with machine learning and algorithms. [8] [9] [10] [11]

Awards and honors

Singh was awarded a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) from the National Science Foundation (NSF) in 2001. [12] She was elected a Fellow of the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) in 2018 for “outstanding contributions to the fields of computational biology and bioinformatics”. [1] She was elected an ACM Fellow in 2019 “for contributions to computational biology, spearheading algorithmic and machine learning approaches for characterizing proteins and their interactions”. [13]
