Joshua Kangas

Joshua Kangas Ph.D. is an associate teaching professor in the Computational Biology Department at Carnegie Mellon University. He is the co-director of the M.S. Automated Science program. In the courses Joshua teaches at Carnegie Mellon University, students generate experimental data in automated wet-lab experiments and learn to apply computational techniques for the analysis of those data. Joshua constantly looks for ways to make course offerings as modern as possible in both the wet-lab and computational techniques learned by students. At times, this has included modernizing classic labs or generating new modules based on novel research. He teaches courses for high school students, undergraduates, and graduate students (M.S. and Ph.D.).
