Kai Shimagaki is a Postdoctoral Associate at the University of Pittsburgh. His research focuses on HIV-1 evolution, coevolutionary processes between viruses and antibodies, and quantitative analysis of genetic interactions. He holds a Ph.D. from Sorbonne University (formerly Pierre et Marie Curie University), where his work centered on protein structure prediction and pathogen-immune system interactions. Education: Ph.D. in Computational Biology, Sorbonne University Research Interests: Quantitative analysis of viral evolution and immune system dynamics Computational modeling of fitness landscapes and epistasis Development of algorithms for deep mutational scanning and protein sequence analysis His work bridges virology, immunology, and computational methods to understand HIV adaptation mechanisms. Publications Overview: Recent work emphasizes HIV evolution modeling, epistasis detection, and computational tools for genetic fitness prediction. Key methods include Bézier interpolation, Boltzmann machine models, and higher-order covariance analysis. Scientific Awards: None listed. Advising & Funding: Supported by the Honjo International Scholarship Foundation during his Ph.D. No current advising roles noted. Labs/Teams: Affiliation details not specified in text.
