Participation in GSoC 2020
MEDHA BHATTACHARYA
Hello everyone!
I am Medha Bhattacharya, a second-year undergraduate student pursuing a Bachelor of Technology (Computer Science and Engineering) at Indira Gandhi Delhi Technical University for Women, India. I am glad to inform you all of my selection in the Google Summer of Code 2020 program with National Resource for Network Biology.
Project title: Development of a system that generates spatial SBML models using deep learning.
(Issue: https://github.com/nrnb/GoogleSummerOfCode/issues/140)
Mentors: Dr. Akira Funahashi, Yuta Tokuoka, Kaito Ii.
This project aims at creating and implementing a software tool that automatically generates various spatial SBML models via XitoSBML by comprehensively segmenting microscopic images of cells using deep learning. Consequently, my project will create a large number of spatial SBML models. Furthermore, as XitoSBML uses JSBML to write spatial SBML models, it will be used throughout.
Since the development of the SBML Version 3 spatial package is currently under progress, a large number of test models are required. These can be provided as deliverables via this project to the SBML repository. Additionally, the provision of several spatial SBML models will enable testing the compatibility of software tools that deal with spatial SBML models.

I am hoping to be able to contribute towards the development of the SBML spatial package this summer!
Cheers!
Medha
