Professional Summary
Summary Statement
As a computational scientist, I am deeply committed to advancing scientific discovery through innovative and rigorous computational approaches. My expertise spans statistical genetics, genomics, metagenomics, cancer genomics, and clinical data analysis, with a particular interest in the interaction between genetics, the microbiome, and environmental exposures. I have led and contributed to interdisciplinary research projects that integrate molecular, environmental, and clinical data, applying methodologies from statistical genetics, microbial ecology, biostatistics, epidemiology, and machine learning. I am experienced in all phases of large-scale human subject research, from study design and participant recruitment to data analysis and publication in high-impact journals. I have a strong track record of developing bioinformatic and statistical pipelines for diverse data types including NGS (genomic, metagenomic, transcriptomic), genetic variant, environmental exposure, and clinical subject data. I am passionate about mentoring, teaching, and consulting on computational research and methodologies, and skilled at communicating complex theory and findings to both expert and lay audiences. My work has contributed to both academic and industrial institutions and large-scale, multi-center research collaborations.
