About Me

I'm a bioinformatician, I use computer science methods to answer biological questions. My students and I focus on analyzing large biological datasets (such as whole genomes) and looking for patterns. An Cal Poly students interested in participating in our group can read more about it in the Research tab . Below is an example of the type of data my lab generates.
