Experience

  • Data Management Analyst at McGovern Medical School
    Oct 2025 - Present · 9 mos

    re-engineered legacy genomic workflows into automated AWS (EC2) ETL pipelines to integrate Cut&Tag and RNA-seq data, identifying a novel genetic regulator. My work involved synthesizing multi-omic datasets and resolving high-dimensional data noise to prioritize high-fidelity therapeutic targets for vascular disease.

  • Research Assistant 1 at McGovern Medical School
    Aug 2024 - Aug 2025 · 1 yr 1 mo

    I managed end-to-end genomic data processing using FastQC, Bowtie2, and MACS2, ensuring data integrity across large-scale sequencing batches. By evaluating various normalization methods and applying PCA to validate replicate consistency, I provided high-quality inputs for downstream epigenetic modeling

  • The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth Houston) (United States)
    • Course Development
      Jan 2024 - May 2024 · 5 mos

      At UTHealth Houston, I played a key role in developing the biostatistics course PH1690, where I focused on creating high-quality educational materials and ensuring accurate lecture content. My efforts led to improved course effectiveness and student satisfaction. I thrived under tight deadlines, producing multiple versions of homework solutions that catered to diverse learning needs.

    • SPH Graduate Teaching Assistant
      Sep 2023 - Jan 2024 · 5 mos

      At UTHealth Houston, I contributed to the academic success of students in the biostatistics course by providing detailed feedback on assignments and fostering a supportive learning environment. My commitment to student engagement and personalized guidance during office hours led to improved student performance. I was honored to be recognized as one of the top Teaching Assistants in the SPH department, which resulted in a scholarship for my outstanding contributions.

  • Research Assistant at Academia Sinica, Taiwan
    Sep 2021 - Aug 2023 · 2 yrs

    Academai Sinica is the Best research institute in Taiwan. The lab I previous in is Interested in mouse brain development. my main job in the lab was to analyze single-cell RNA single cell data from raw count. I am able to clustered gene type in group by utilizing principal component analysis and dimensional reduction. I have work with other lab member with the following two project listed: 1. Hippocampus and Subiculum: Separation of the Dorsal and Ventral Regions Jan 2022 - Mar 2022 Provide definitions for the dorsal and ventral information pertaining to the subregions of the Hippocampus and Subiculum, including CA1, CA3, DG, and Subiculum Develop a Rshiny application that enables any co-worker to analyze genes across annotated clusters Examine the in situ results from the Allen Brain Atlas to classify the clusters. 2. Effect of High-Fat Diet on the Forebrain of 18.5-Day Mouse Embryos June 2022 - August 2022 Identify microglial enrichment genes induced by high-fat mice through differential expression analysis Cluster definition successfully incorporated CNS information, including microglia. Annotates homeostatic and pro-inflammatory genes in microglia and assists clients in selecting suitable genes for in situ studies.

  • Vice President of Taiwanese Culture Association at Green River College
    Sep 2017 - Dec 2018 · 1 yr 4 mos

    As Vice President of the Taiwanese Culture Association at Green River College, I played a pivotal role in fostering cultural awareness among students. I organized meetings, secured funding for events, and collaborated with school leadership to promote our initiatives.
