Computational Biology PhD (Pugh & Lai)Dr. Frank Pugh - https://pughlab.mbg.cornell.edu/Dr. William KM Lai - https://williamkmlai.github.io/• Wrote and contributed to several manuscripts on a variety of ChIP genomics data analysis and genomics machine learning publications (See publications)• Mentored computational undergraduate and graduate students working on machine learning, software development, and genomics/epigenomics data analysis projects (~3-6 students per semester)• Trained wet-bench lab members on the use of bioinformatics best practices to submit highly reproducible bioinformatics code in manuscript publications• Developed genomics analysis tools shared across the lab using software best practices like version control, documentation, and continuous integration features like unit tests• Maintained and tested lab infrastructure for executing genomic workflows and rigorous tracking of genomic sample metadata• Wrote extensive documentation for the lab introducing basic genomics data analysis concepts and skills, especially for ChIP-based data analysis

Palo Alto, Ca

Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD, www.yeastgenome.org)• Review and add ~20 papers to the database every week, tagging genes and information in need of deeper curation• Curate sequence data for the coordinates of genomic features from common yeast strains• Write various scripts to facilitate the incorporation of data into the database and to check quality of existing data• Test data and tools, checking for accuracy, expected behavior, and possible improvements to function or display

Waterville, Me

• Tutored students on their Python and Java projects during weekly, three-hour evening help sessions• Assisted professors with answering questions for students during their weekly, two-hour lab section

• Applied differential equations to mathematically model the proteins responsible for circadian rhythms• Programmed extensively with MATLAB in a research context• Built a circadian model that combined published models to characterize elements that elicit certain behaviors
