SUMMARY

A well-educated and intellectually curious individual with both academic and professional experience in Statistical Modeling, Bioinformatics, Cancer Research, and the Forensic Sciences. Programming Languages include R, SQL, SAS, Matlab, JMP, Python, and Excel. PROFESSIONAL & WORK EXPERIENCE

Statistical Intern- Penumbra Inc. 07/2017-Present

• Completing four clinical data analysis verifications and three statistical analysis plan review within 3-month internship at medical device company.

Graduate Student Researcher - SJSU, NASA, & John Hopkins University, School of Medicine 01/2017-07/2017

• Applying a novel model, Bayesian Block, to analyze GC rich regions in DNA sequence and comparing with Hidden Markov model. Proving that BB model is a promising and a novel method in DNA sequence analysis. Statistical Data Analyst - LITE-ON Technology CORP. (Taipei, Taiwan) 01/2016-04/2016

• Developed a regression model to help predict Systolic Blood Pressure given a patient's descriptive attributes (heartbeat rate, age, etc). Model was on average accurate to within 97.8% of actual Systolic Blood Pressure of selected patients, and was ultimately used to improve the precision of a medical device. Statistical Consultant - Buddhist Tzu Chi General Hospital, Dr. Simon Wu (New Taipei, Taiwan) 12/2015-01/2016

• Aided in the design and defense of a statistical methodology utilized in a peer-reviewed biomedical research paper. Paper was ultimately accepted by the peer-review group for advancement for publication. Volunteer Research Student - University of California-Davis, Medical Center (Sacramento, CA) 07/2014- 03/2015

• Researched the application of the one-bead-two-components method on prostate cancer therapy and the chemical synthesis of one-bead-two-components beads, ultimately resulting in 3 new biomarker candidates being recommended. Forensics Intern - Kern Regional Crime Laboratory (Bakersfield, CA) 06/2010-12/2010

• Detected male DNA in 28% of previously deemed sperm-negative forensic swabs in sexual assault cases with Quantifiler® Duo DNA Quantification kit. As a result, 1 case was re-opened for continued prosecution of the suspect. Research Assistant - Buddhist Tzu Chi General Hospital, Core Lab (Taipei, Taiwan) 06/2005-05/2008

• Under the Principal Investigator, played a major research role on 2 projects and was an assistant researcher on 2 other projects, within 3 years. Received 3 technical certifications and presented research results at two academic conferences. EDUCATION
