Satwik Acharyya

Dr. Satwik Acharyya is an Assistant Professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) with primary appointments in the Department of Biostatistics (School of Public Health) and secondary affiliation in the Department of Biomedical Informatics and Data Science. Holding concurrent roles at UAB's Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS) and O'Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center, he bridges statistical methodology with biomedical applications.

• PhD in Statistics from Texas A&M University (2020)
• Postdoctoral Fellow at University of Michigan-Ann Arbor

Research Focus: Combines Bayesian statistics with translational medicine, specializing in:

• Bayesian Graphical and Hierarchical Modeling
• Variational Bayes and Non-standard Manifold Computation
• Spatial Transcriptomics and Single-Cell Omics
• Neuroimaging and Cancer Informatics

Publication Trends: Recent work emphasizes spatial multi-omics integration, including novel tools like CAFE for flow cytometry analysis and SpaceX for spatial transcriptomics networks. Key methodologies address sample heterogeneity in genomic networks and covariance modeling for neuroimaging.

Scientific Contributions: Notable awards include the 2025 UAB School of Public Health Pilot Award. He serves on multiple dissertation committees and actively participates in journals as reviewer.
