As a PhD Student at the Computer and Information Science department at University of Florida, I am working under the supervision of Dr. Christina Boucher. My research focuses on developing succinct data structures to improve computational time and memory in PBWT indexing and SMEM finding across haplotypes. Previously I have worked on developling a machine learning framework that learn genotype-phenotype associations solely based on the gaps in a multi-species sequence alignment, during my undergrad, I did research in the area of social computing where the goal was to build a predictive model towards addressing early stage substance abuse vulnerability.
