I am studying Bioinformatics with a goal of going to medical school. I am fascinated by the world of microbes. I'm currently working on a project using machine learning to identify functional microbial relationships in the human gut that predict metabolic disease. I have previously studied the dynamic microbial communities responsible for toxic cyanobacteria blooms in freshwater and those that synthesize biofuel in hyperthermophilic anaerobic reactors.
