Research Interests & Work
------------------------
Currently pursuing PhD in Biological Sciences at North Dakota State University's Signor Lab (started Fall 2022), focusing on computational biology and small RNA research.
Core Research Areas:
- - Small RNA biology and regulation
- - Transposable elements
- - Computational approaches in genomics
- - RNA-seq analysis
- - Bioinformatics pipeline development
Current Work:
- - Developing computational methods for small RNA analysis
- - Investigating regulatory networks in gene expression
- - Building tools for genomic data processing
- - Exploring transposon dynamics and their regulatory mechanisms
Technical Stack:
- - R/Bioconductor for genomic data analysis
- - Python for bioinformatics pipelines
- - Unix/Linux environments
- - High-performance computing
- - Version control (Git)
