Fantastic F-statistics and where to find them

Published:

In this tutorial, I described how to use hierarchical F-statistics (Wright, 1931) to explore genetic variation in a population. This tutorial explored different populations of hippogryphs, and what could be discerned by determining if variation was structured at the individual level (FIS), the regional level (FSR), or at the site level (FST). Also briefly discussed is the idea of genetic rescue.

Evaluating microsatellite instability tools and benchmarks

Published:

In this talk, I explained surprising benchmarking results for the leading microsatellite instability tools. While still in an early stage at this point, this provided a great opportunity to discuss the idea that the leading microsatellite instability detection tools were not performing as described in literature.

Performance assessment of computational tools to detect microsatellite instability

Published:

This talk shared research that was published with my adviser on microsatellite instability detection tools used in next-generation sequencing data. We found very interesting results, most notably that microsatellite instability tools did not have the same performance across different sequencing types, and that some tools, despite literature stating otherwise, had very low performance in general.

General biology

Undergraduate course, Washington State Universty, School of Biological Sciences, 2018

At Washington State University I helped teach general biology as part of my teaching assistantship. The majority of work consisted of giving a mini-lecture on the relevant weekly laboratory subject and then overseeing the students work through the laboratory material. I was required to lead two laboratory sections and assist with one every week. This TA work helped me develop the skills necessary to teach complex biological concepts (e.g. DNA replication, osmosis, evolution) to people who were first year students and not biology majors.

Cancer genomics

Master's course, University of Galway, School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences, 2021

Teaching assistant in the cancer genomics module (MA5107) at the University of Galway. This course is part of the curriculum for the biomedical genomics master’s program at the Universty of Galway. I was tasked with overseeing, administrating, and designing the practicals. This included helping students with subjects like: high-performance computing, R, Python, variant calling, signature detection, and much more.
