• PhD Graduate Student

  • Aug 2013 - Jun 2018

  During my PhD I worked on developing many data analytics skills. I learned how to analyze 16S rRNA gene data, process metagenomics data from reads to metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs), and understand microbial metabolism. My main research project focused on the coordinated degradation of carbon via microorganisms in the moose rumen. This resulted in 2 first author publications in Dr. Kelly Wrighton's lab.

• Undergraduate Research Assistant

  • Mar 2011 - May 2013

  In this position I worked on site directed mutagenesis of an E.coli protein PoxA. We determined the amino acid residues that were important for binding to it's co-factor protein EFP, and performed kinetic assays to test how changes in these amino acids affect the binding. This provided insight into how EFP, which is a tRNA mimicry protein, evolved from tRNAs to improve ribosomal binding at hard to translate regions.
