Dhananjay Bhaskar
Assistant Professor, Biomedical Engineering
University of Wisconsin–Madison
My research sits at the intersection of AI and biology, spanning AI4Biology, mechanistic learning, geometric deep learning, Neuro-AI, and agentic AI. I am an affiliate of the Data Science Institute, the Biophysics Graduate Program, the Center for Genomic Science Innovation, and WITNe. I also serve on the board of OpScribe-AI.

| Oct 28, 2026 | Neurospectrum, a deep learning framework for neural dynamics is now out in Neurocomputing! Neurospectrum represents brain activity as graph wavelets and uses an autoencoder to dimensionality-reduce this representation while preserving geometry and trajectories. The trajectories are then characterized by a series of geometric and topological descriptors for regression and classification tasks, including classification of OCD. |
| Oct 16, 2026 | Min Wu and I received a FYIM Collaboration Kickstart Award to collaborate on “Mechanistic Modeling of Antigen-Regulated Cortical Actin Oscillations”. I will lead the computational modeling and Dr. Wu will lead the experimental work. |
