Jonathan Colen
I build interpretable models of complex systems using tools from artificial intelligence, machine learning, and physics. I work at the ODU-Jefferson Lab Joint Institute on Advanced Computing for Energy & Science. Past projects have aimed to use AI/ML to advance scientific understanding for systems at the intersection of soft materials and biology. My research focuses on multidisciplinary problems along two main thrusts: AI for Science and AI for Health.
If you are interested in collaborating, or have thoughts about machine learning in health, biology or physics, please reach out!
Prospective students
In Fall 2026, I will move to the William & Mary Department of Data Science. I am looking for motivated PhD students to join my group. If you would like to work with me, please send me an email with a brief explanation of your interests and CV attached.
