• Undergraduate Researcher

  • Oct 2019 - May 2021

  Advisor: Alexander Fleischmann• Created a novel computational pipeline for the simulation of single nuclei from bulk RNA-Seq data using gene regulatory networks, enabling the comparison of data from different formats. Wrote original code in Python and R that is published for use by others.• Implemented Single-cell regulatory network inference and clustering (SCENIC) for gene network analysis of single cell data.• Developing novel pipelines using machine learning for the analysis of multiomic single-cell sequencing data and thecomparison of cell types across cortical structures and across species.• Contributed original writing and significant editing, both structural and detail-oriented, to a now-published manuscript.
