With a strong academic foundation including current Ph.D. candidacy in Bioengineering at Northeastern University, I bring both deep theoretical knowledge and practical expertise to tutoring. My research specializes in cutting-edge areas like Oxford Nanopore sequencing, RNA modification analysis, and Python-based bioinformatics pipeline development, supported by prestigious fellowships from NASA and NIH.

My teaching experience spans multiple levels and formats. As a graduate research mentor, I've trained lab members in computational biology techniques, guiding them through Python programming, Linux environments, and next-generation sequencing analysis. Earlier, as a mathematics tutor at Kilohana, I worked one-on-one with college students, developing customized approaches to master algebra and calculus. Through NASA outreach programs, I've designed and delivered engaging STEM workshops that make complex genomic and space biology concepts accessible to K-12 audiences.

I adapt my teaching to each student's needs, whether they're a high schooler exploring bioinformatics, an undergraduate tackling their first research project, or a graduate student refining analytical skills. My approach combines hands-on exercises with conceptual explanations, always relating material to real-world research applications. I particularly enjoy helping students overcome the initial intimidation by breaking down complex topics into manageable, practical steps.

What sets my tutoring apart is my current, active research experience. I don't just teach textbook concepts - I bring insights from developing novel analysis methods that are being published in top journals. Students benefit from learning directly from someone pushing the boundaries in the field while understanding the foundational knowledge needed to succeed. My goal is to equip students with both technical skills and the problem-solving mindset needed for independent research in computational biology.

Data Analysis

Data Analysis

I got my PhD in Bioengineering and specialized in analyzing big genomic data with python and command line on HPC devises. I have multiple publications in journals such as ACSNano and Nucleic Acids Research where I demonstrate my ability to analyze and interpret data, including with machine learning techniques. I am especially adept at analyzing next generation sequencing data from Nanopore devises.
Genetics

Genetics

I have 7+ years of experience with next generation sequencing and genomics bioinformatics. I have published multiple papers in top journals on developing cutting edge methods for sequencing RNA on the Oxford Nanopore sequencing platforms. I have mentored graduate students in genomics, bioinformatics, and many other adjacent subjects.
