Bartek Rajwa is a Research Professor of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics at Purdue University’s Bindley Bioscience Center. His research focuses on the application of mathematical modeling and statistical machine learning to complex biological datasets, particularly those generated through high-throughput cytometry, imaging, lipidomics, and proteomics. By integrating diverse phenotype-screening technologies, he contributes to advancements in toxicology, neuroscience, drug discovery, and agricultural engineering.
A major component of Dr. Rajwa’s work involves developing computational strategies to visualize and interpret high-dimensional, noisy biological data, especially in fields such as hematology, immunology, oncology, and biosurveillance. His notable contributions include novel methods for multispectral flow cytometry, light-scatter-based microorganism identification, and signal processing pipelines for biodetection using Raman and LIBS spectroscopy. Dr. Rajwa also serves as Editor-in-Chief of Cytometry Part A, the official journal of the International Society for Advancement of Cytometry.
