Noel Sason

I'm an undergraduate at UC Berkeley studying molecular and cell biology alongside data science, finishing in 2028. Since January I've been a research affiliate at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, where I built a piece of the tooling that connects published human-microbiome studies to a knowledge graph of microbial traits.

Most of my time goes to Scope. It attaches to the Canvas a school already runs and gives students somewhere to do the assignment itself: annotate the reading, run the notebook, write the code, work the derivation. Not a box to upload a file into. I'm the only person writing the code.

What I want to do next is AI research, mostly evaluation: how you tell whether a model is doing the thing you think it's doing. I've started on that under Scope Labs, where the question is whether a model can read a student's handwritten chemistry mechanism and find the first step that is wrong without inventing errors that were never there. Eventually I'd like to point that at biology, which is the other half of my degree. I'm looking for research work for summer 2027.
