Worked to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the quality control (QC) pipeline.Developed a more accurate and higher resolution error metric specific to Adaptive assays by analyzing sequences and other metrics.Looked into patterns in sequence coverage to determine if a different target would be more cost effective while retaining accuracy.Wrote and ran python scripts to perform computational analyses on an Azure VM fused to an Azure Storage account to achieve these results and… Show more Worked to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the quality control (QC) pipeline.Developed a more accurate and higher resolution error metric specific to Adaptive assays by analyzing sequences and other metrics.Looked into patterns in sequence coverage to determine if a different target would be more cost effective while retaining accuracy.Wrote and ran python scripts to perform computational analyses on an Azure VM fused to an Azure Storage account to achieve these results and manage data.

Organized mentor/mentee pairings for the University's Women in Natural Sciences Program.Compiled an information booklet on resources for entering freshmen women in the program.Tracked mentor activity for reporting success statistics.

Encouraged hands-on experiments and projects in a free after-school program for 20 to 30 elementary-age girls.Led STEM-centered public events biweekly for young elementary-age students such as science fair booths, interactive experiments, and inflatable planetarium lectures. Input surveys to analyze student progress and program effectiveness twice a semester.Organized materials and carried out lesson plans each week.
