Madison, Wisconsin, United States
I am a PhD candidate in Biomedical Data Science at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, working in a computational biology lab. I develop and implement machine learning algorithms to study how the DNA folds itself inside the cell. Previously I worked on data analytics and business intelligence at UW Health and Epic. I am actively looking for positions that would enable me to utilize my expertise in data science, machine learning, algorithm development, genomics, and/or electronic health records.
I developed machine learning algorithms to discover the building blocks of 3D genome organization and to identify changes in 3D genome across developmental or disease trajectories. In addition to my core research, I acted as: - Presenter, workshop host, and panelist at national and international research conferences - Mentor for elementary school to graduate students interested in computer science or research - Reviewer for various scientific publication and conferences - Guest lecturer and grader for a graduate course on computational network biology
