• Documentation of data cleaning process and training documents on analysis software

• Investigate new analysis programs

TESTING & DEBUGGING

• Design test data and testing of proprietary analysis software

• Debugging and adaptation of external software

SUPPORT

• Coordinate communication with collaborators worldwide concerning data collection and their research data needs

Research – Developer II Jan 2005 – May 2006

Center for Statistical Genetics

University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa

DEVELOPMENT

• Inherited a non-working database with contaminated data from a multi-million dollar autism project. Rebuilt the database and cleaned the data which allowed for the project to move on to the next phase

• Handled data preparation, cleaning and ran statistical genetic analysis

• Compiled analytical results

Research Assistant 2002 – 2004
