Career Profile
I'm a third year student completing my Bachelor of Science, Joint Honors in Computing Science and Molecular Biology & Biochemistry (aka Bioinformatics) at Simon Fraser University. I am especially interested in the application of computational methods in health and medicine.
Experiences
I'm working on a large scale project to implement a computational framework to classify pathogens into epidemiologically related groups based on genomic data. Specifically, I am working on the development of an algorithm to cluster pathogens using MLST (multilocus sequence typing) data obtained from core- and whole-genome analysis.
I helped organize the curriculum to teach children the basics of Robotics and programming using LEGO Mindstorm and VEX robotics. Programming was facilitated by using Scratch and EasyC.
Projects
Here are a few side projects I am currently working on.
