About

I am currently a Ph.D. candidate and a Graduate fellow in the Bioinformatics and Systems Biology program at the University of Delaware. I have learned and even mastered many datamining and machine learning tools, allowing me to handle next-generation sequencing (NGS) data of increasing size and complexity, bordering on ‘big data’. I have also developed machine learning based approaches to handle NGS data in my lab. I am proficient in relational database development, design, maintenance for high-throughput data.

Timeline

  • 2013 - 2018

    University of Delaware
    Ph.D. Bioinformatics and Systems Biology

    My research focus has emerged to bring the power of machine learning to the Meyers lab, enhancing our current approaches and analyses, and enabling new analyses. The long-term impact of my work will be in both bioinformatics and in plant reproductive biology, with findings important to improve yields in maize and rice, critically important crops in global agriculture.

  • May 2017 - Aug 2017

    Monsanto
    Cloud Infrastrucutre Developer Intern

    I spent summer 2017 with Monsanto’s Genome and Data Science team in St.Louis on various projects overlapping the cutting edge AWS, machine learning, and the 3rd generation sequencing technologies (PacBio).

  • 2011-2013

    Delaware State University
    M.S. Computer Science

    I spent two years as reasearch assistant in Dr. Tomasz Smolikski’s lab working on Hybridization of Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms and Fuzzy Control for automated construction, tuning, and analysis of neuronal models.
