Research Interests
My interests in computer science lie mostly in its intersection with biology, in the field of bioinformatics. More specifically, I am fascinated with Next-Generation Sequencing, and the future of massivly-parallel DNA sequencing.
Previous Research
While an undergraduate student at Brigham Young Univeristy, I was part of the Computational Science Laboratory. As a member of this lab, I played a major role in developing a program called GNUMAP, which can be found hereAwards and Honors
- Selected as AAAS (American Association for the Advancement of Science) member, Summer 2011-Summer 2012
- Honorable Mention for the 2011 National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship Program
