I’m a bioinformatics scientist working in research and development at Thermo Fisher Scientific. Our team improves existing microarray technology and develops new genotyping products.

In my current role, I specialize in:

• Experimental Design – I work closely with molecular biologists to design efficient experiments.
• Data Analysis – I process large biological data sets on high performance computing clusters, perform analyses using modern data science tools, and communicate interpretations that drive product development decisions.
• Pipeline Development – I build workflows that automate repetitive processes and create apps with interactive visualizations, enabling molecular biologists to quickly explore their results.
• Algorithm Development – I write tools to perform a variety of analyses and work closely with software developers to implement them into production level code.

Before joining industry, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Whitehead Lab at the University of California Davis affiliated with the Center for Population Biology. I received my PhD in biology from the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill as a member of the Martin Lab.
