Selected Work Experience Leveraging machine learning models to gain insights into biological systems. - Identified candidate genetic mechanisms underlying hybrid seed development in monkeyflowers using kernel principal component regression with gradient boosting, and ensemble regression tree approaches for gene regulatory network inference. First author publication available upon request. - Contributed to development of penalized regression method for performing copy number variant (CNV) association analysis. Publication in preparation. Development, deployment, and assessment of variant calling algorithms and statistical models. - Collaboratively developed pipeline for calling CNVs from WGS data provided by the Alzheimer's Disease Sequencing Project. Co-first author publication available upon request. - Assessed comparative advantages and disadvantages of different pipelines for performing CNV association analyses.
