I'm currently based out of Boulder, CO. I started out programming, took a detour to study chemistry and math, and did some biochemistry and bioinformatics research along the way. Right now I'm in a PhD program in computer science, working on algorithm development in genomics.
At Work
I'm a graduate student in Computer Science. Right now I'm at CU Boulder working in the DnA Lab.
In the lab, I'm spending time on:
- Bayesian Modeling to better understand patterns in genomic data
- Nascent sequencing data and algorithms with a focus on integrating disparate types of data
- Language Models and interpretability, as applied to sequencing data
My collaborative projects focus on:
- Deep Learning models for cell segmentation and classification
- Life on Other Planets and what we can learn from life on early earth
In the past, I've worked on:
- Pipeline Development for speeding up analysis of new sequencing datsets
- Knowledge Graphs and how they can be used with graph embedding algorithms
- Applied Probability looking at noise removal in biological data
- Live Cell Imaging in the context of mammalian cells and cancer
- Algorithm development for efficiently handling large amounts of sequencing data
At Home
In my free time, you can find me:
- Outside, running, hiking, and backpacking
- Tinkering with ham radio, either building antennas or up on mountains for Summits on the Air
- Experimenting with fermentation, pushing the boundaries of what I can feasibly produce in a home kitchen
