• Built http://drbrain.online, a tool for accelerating neurodegenerative disease diagnosis with 3D brain MRI images.
• Utilized Python and Linux command line tools to process 140 GB of image data. Cleaned up 3D brain images by fixing their orientation, cropping and segmenting them, and applying affine transformation.
• Set up AWS EC2 instance (g2.2xlarge) for deep learning implementation with Keras, Tensorflow and GPU backend.
• Created an anomaly detection system with Isolation Forest algorithm to increase user experience by detecting and filtering out invalid MRI images.
• Developed, trained and validated a 3D convolutional neural network model with inception modules for classifying brain images as healthy, Alzheimer's disease, or Parkinson’s disease. Achieved accuracy levels of 76.8%.

• Implemented metabolomics and next generation sequencing techniques (ChIP-seq and RNA-seq) to elucidate molecular mechanisms of metabolic side effects induced by steroid drugs. This work resulted in five publications.
• Engineered a Chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing (ChIP-seq) analysis pipeline system, TBMI_ChIP (https://github.com/tcchenbtx/TBMI_ChIP), to consistently automate ChIP-seq analysis.
• Discovered three novel molecular pathways to reduce hepatic insulin resistance and lipid metabolism disruption induced by steroid drugs.
• Conducted a reproducibility analysis on a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) based image-processing research study.
• Applied linear modeling and time series analysis to study brain fMRI data for visual pattern recognition. (https://github.com/berkeley-stat159/project-zeta)
• Mentored 45 undergraduate students in Computational Toxicology, guiding them to perform data mining on various websites and databases to discover novel insights in the field of toxicology. Several students went on to.
