Research Postdoctoral Scholar: Stanford University, Biochemistry (2009 - present) I work at the Stanford Genome Technology Center (SGTC) on synthetic biology for engineering cellular systems and optimizing adaptive evolution, especially in yeast and bacteria. Applications include fuel production, carbon sequestration, chemical/drug production, and therapeutic microbes. PhD: Stanford University, Biomedical Informatics (2003 - 2008) I completed my PhD research in Stanford's Biomedical Informatics Training Program (BMI). I worked primarily with Ron Davis, Guri Giaever, and Daphne Koller. Projects:
Summer 2005: Notes for BMI qualifying exam. Undergraduate: University of Notre Dame (1998 - 2003) At Notre Dame I worked at the Center for Tropical Disease Research and Training, with Frank Collins and Nora Besansky. They study Anopheline mosquitoes, the primary vectors of the malaria parasite in Sub-Saharan Africa.
