Majoring in Applied Mathematics

Welcome to my page! I love programming, math, and biology. I’m interested in furthering my education towards a graduate degree in computer science.

Research Role

As a researcher in the Biological Control, Computing, and Learning Laboratory, I utilize both computational and laboratory techniques to contribute to bioinformatics research.

Current Projects:

Genetic sequence clustering using unsupervised clustering algorithms and applications in mapping genotype to phenotype

• Developing a genetic clustering algorithm using a k-means clustering algorithm. Comparing genotype with phenotype using statistical methods.
• Methodologies: Python, Tensorflow, Scikit-learn, Biopython

E. coli-Based Genetic Circuit Displaying Hysteresis

• Creating a E. coli-Based Geentic Circuit Displaying Hysteresis.
• Methodologies: PCR, colony PCR, Gel Electrophoresis, Gel Extraction, Gibson Assembly, Golden Gate Assembly, Mathematical Modeling (Matlab)
