About Me:
I am a PhD student (beginning 2023) in DBBS at Washington University in St. Louis. I look forward to working with Dr. Gautam Dantas on how antibiotic interact with the gut microbiome.
I enjoy wrestling, lifting, and jogging; I play the accordion. Before my high school in Seattle, I lived 2 hours away from HongKong, in Foshan, China. I speak Mandarin, Cantonese, Hakka (客家话). Learning Spanish.
I am a Carleton (MN) Alumni'23, Biology and Computer Science majors. Most interested in the human gut microbiomes, cancer precision medicine, and neurobiology.
Summer 2022, I interned for Dr. Alex Kostic at Harvard, I analyzed species and metabolic pathway abundances in human gut microbiomes to identify features correlated with obesity and diabetes.
At Carleton College, I worked for Dr. Rika Anderson to investigate the cause of the high abundance of transposase (a virus-like jumping gene) in deep oceans. I focus on the evolution of microbes recovered from metagenomic assembled genomes (MAGs).
Summer 2021, I intern at Hewlett Packard Enterprise. I work on the operating system of their supercomputers. I am proficient at Python, Shell Scripts, C++.
Summer 2020, I worked for Dr. Julie Neiworth to study how cognitive failures of aging cotton-top tamarins relate to biology events in their brains. I enjoy washing monkey cages, and feeding monkeys with food better than mine.
I want an bioinformatics-related internship!!! Employ me!!! Here is my resume!
