• Lead bioinformatics team in pioneering long-read sequencing data analysis, including novel algorithms and automated pipelines.• Individually contribute to the development of technical solutions to major outstanding challenges in variant detection.• Coordinate cross-team efforts with R&D to produce carrier screening and diagnostic products.• Lead external bioinformatics communications with collaborators.

Richland, Washington, United States

• Designed and created a deep learning model for the prediction of molecular properties using a novel modified attention mechanism that incorporates 3D molecular structure.• Performed processing and statistical analysis of proteomics data to identify enriched proteins and determine those with differential activity due to experimental factors.• Created a Python tool that queries external databases to identify potential metabolites that may be enzymatically produced in a biological sample.• Applied bioinformatics tools and statistical methods to large metagenomic sequencing datasets to investigate shifts of microbial populations in the microbiome.• Authored and co-authored several manuscripts and gave presentations on research project results.

Richland, Washington, United States

• Developed the application of Empirical Brown’s Method for statistically detecting differentially abundant proteins from mass-spectrometry proteomics experiments and validated its efficacy with spike-in datasets.• Applied various statistical methods and bioinformatics tools to analyze large multiomics datasets from microbiome experiments.• Designed and synthesized a novel glutathione-mimicking activity based probe with excellent targeting and selectivity of glutathione S-transferase enzymes.• Performed various laboratory experiments and protocols involving the application of activity-based probes to microbial cultures, isolation and purification of nucleic acids and proteins, qPCR, LC/MS, western blotting, and others.• Trained several undergraduate researchers in data analysis techniques, organic synthesis, and laboratory protocols.

Pullman, Wa

Performed undergraduate research studying the assembly of the bacterial flagellar filament and was awarded the Boeing Novice Researcher Award for a poster presentation at the WSU Showcase for Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities (SURCA).

Bellevue, Wa

Aided in the design of chemical processes for a zero-liquid discharge water purification system. This entailed compiling data for cost analysis, determining the size of various pieces of equipment, and revising P&ID’s.

Ensured workplace safety for construction, inspected equipment, and exposed safety hazards.
