• Constant staying up to date with trends in technology by attending conferences and workshops University of Tennessee Knoxville, TN Graduate Researcher June 2018 - August 2022
● Modeled population genetics changes of rats pre and post Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans
● Created a detailed pipeline take raw DNA sequencing data from over 5,000 samples to human readable visualizations of sample familial trees, colonies across the city of New Orleans, and disease spread
● Worked collaboratively with biologists to investigate socioeconomic ties to data and level of disease in rats due to urban decay
• Modeled taxonomic profiling of End Stage Renal Kidney disease in a cohort of dialysis patients
• Leveraged graph theoretical algorithms and machine learning to identify potential biomarkers associated with the development of End Stage Renel Kidney Disease
• Developed code to run of supercomputer clusters and experienced with Big Data

● Wrote fully automated pipeline in Python used by the Center for Molecular Biophysics RESEARCH & PROJECTS
“Clique Bait” – Maximal and Maximum Clique Finder Program Knoxville, TN Programming Project for Graduate Research
● Created an implementation of the theoretical clique finding algorithm for graph representations of data seen in doi: 10.1016/j.dam.2015.11.010
● Created a maximal and maximum version of the clique finding algorithm for graph representations
● Created modification of my MMCE k-partite maximal paraclique finder. This code takes the "maximum clique" (not maximal) and computes the paraclique with a glom factor specified by the user Tower of Babel NLP Knoxville, TN Web scraping and Natural Language Processing Project November 2021 Rachel Reed
● Used web scraping to create a cohort of texts from the Tower of Babel database
