Research Interests
| My research background began in environmental microbial genomics where I helped develop an implementation of logistic regression to confidently detect rare organisms in metagenomic samples. My transition to human genetics is beginning with exposure to variant calling analyses in order to determine driving forces behind autism spectrum disorders. I hope to apply my unsupervised model training background to more confidently and reliably understand observed variants. |
