Research Experience and Projects
Computational Cardiology - Chung Lab, Cleveland Clinic Foundation
Mina Chung, M.D. and John Barnard, Ph.D., 2021-present
- Developed and implemented machine learning models for identifying and categorizing cardiac arrhythmias.
- Investigated the potential applications of quantum computing algorithms in arrhythmia detection.
- Collaborated with clinical and computational researchers to analyze and interpret patient data.
Bioinformatic Neuro-oncology - Gladson Lab, Lerner Research Institute
Candece Gladson, M.D., 2021-present
- Designed and optimized an RNA-sequencing pipeline for analyzing the molecular characteristics of glioblastomas.
- Conducted bioinformatic analyses to identify differentially expressed genes and signaling pathways associated with bevacizumab resistance.
- Contributed to the interpretation and presentation of the data in manuscripts and conference presentations.
Non-random Rotation Matching Algorithm (NRMA)
Craig Nielsen, M.D., 2023
- Developed NRMA, a non-random rotation matching algorithm for medical students, utilizing linear sum optimization techniques to match students with their rotation preferences.
- Implemented and tested the algorithm to ensure efficient and accurate matching, resulting in improved student satisfaction and reduced administrative burden.
- Collaborated with medical faculty and staff to gather rotation preference data, incorporate feedback, and continuously improve the algorithm over multiple iterations.
Biochemical Oncology - Feng Lab, University of California, San Fransisco
Jonathan Chou, M.D., Ph.D. and Felix Feng, M.D., 2018-2021
- Conducted experiments using cell culture and animal models to investigate the effects of CDK12 inhibition on prostate cancer progression.
- Developed and executed bioinformatics analyses of transcriptomic and genomic data to identify potential targets for therapeutic intervention.
