Dr. Joshua D. Kennedy came to the Department of Chemistry and Physics in 2021. His teaching responsibilities include General Physics I & II, Biophysics, Computational Physics, Mechanics I&II, and Electromagnetism. Dr Kennedy has developed an ongoing and active research program in Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, and Translational Medicine, including working with Google and NIH to develop a cloud-based learning module for multi-omics integration and developing exposure-informed machine learning/AI-based predictive risk models for cancer. Most recently, Dr. Kennedy built a computational model based on an arsenic-informed gene set that can predict lung cancer with high accuracy.
