Khanh N. Dinh is an Associate Research Scientist in the Irving Institute for Cancer Dynamics and the Department of Statistics at Columbia University (2023-present). He earned a Bachelor degree in Mathematics from the University of Science in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam (2009-2012). He obtained a PhD degree in Mathematics at the University of Alabama, advised by Dr. Roger Sidje (2013-2018). He was a Postdoctoral Research Scientist in Dr. Marek Kimmel’s lab at Rice University (2018-2019) and Dr. Simon Tavaré’s lab at Columbia University (2019-2023).

Khanh has a documented track record in developing novel mathematical models and computational methods to infer how tumors evolve from DNA-sequencing data, toward improving patient classification and treatment. Most of his work is in collaboration with mathematicians and statisticians on one side and biologists, geneticists and physicians on the other. He is a recipent of the Outstanding research award from the Department of Mathematics, University of Alabama (2018) and the Emerging leaders in computational oncology award from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (2021).
