research
2009–2015 Graduate Researcher Stanford University
Advisor: Vijay Pande
• Generated and analyzed large scale datasets with molecular dynamics
and Markov Models on distributed computing network Folding@Home.
• Developed novel algorithms and work flows to interpret computational
models based on experimental data.
• Statistically evaluated the activation pathways of conformational change
in key bacterial signaling protein (NtrC) to discover stabilizing molecular
interactions.

academic projects
2013 Researched pharmacogenomic potential of the interaction between metoprolol
and Cytochrome P450.
2012 Wrote Python code to:
• Perform global ends-free and local alignment using Needleman-Wunsch
dynamic programming algorithm with affine gap penalty
• Classify gene expression microarray experiments using K-nearest neigh-
bor supervised machine learning algorithm.
• Cluster genes with similar expression profiles using K-means unsuper-
vised machine learning algorithm.
• Build a network of protein connections using a cheminformatic approach
to compare proteins by examining the similarity of ligands they bind.
