• Collaborated and developed a pipeline for extracting somatic and germline variants from high throughput single cell data (sciATAC-seq) in Drosophila melanogaster and human fetal embryos (HPCC, Linux, Snakemake, R)• Designed the application of quality control analyses from the extracted variants • Conducted mutational signature analysis, comparing results with the Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in Cancer (COSMIC) to explore mutagenesis mechanisms and rates across tissues during development (R, Python)

• Led PrecisionTox project: - Performed extreme QTL mapping (xQTL) experiments to explore candidate arsenic resistance variants in Drosophila melanogaster using NGS DNA sequencing (Illumina) - Conducted NGS sequencing analyses to identify significant alleles contributing to arsenic resistance (HPCC, Linux, Cytoscape)• Automated and optimized and pipeline of preprocessing large-scale raw data from Drosophila Activity Monitor assay (Python, Git/GitHub)• Led and collaborated with a team in conducting acute chemical exposure pilot screens using the Drosophila Genetic Reference Panel (DGRP); Statistically analyzed (SAS, R) and visualized the results (R)• Mentored undergraduate interns for Undergraduate Research Symposium

• Performed lifespan development experiment to identify novel interventions that extend longevity in ND2 Drosophila melanogaster Leigh syndrome fruit fly• Assisted screening of ~200 DGRP lines to investigate genetic variation in the development times in response to rapamycin

• Led a project which examined mitophagy of NDUFS mice under rapamycin treatments • Worked with the mouse team to collect mice tissues and extract brain proteins and DNA • Western blotted proteins from CST Mitochondrial Dynamics Antibody Sampler Kit, analyzed concentration through imageJ, interpreted the data and the results showed rapamycin reduces mitochondria fission
