Looking at Recovery from my Lisfranc Foot Fracture using Data Viz and Moving Averages
In this project, I looked at step counts after I broke my foot, and visual how moving averages can help me understand when I walked again as much as my pre-injury time.

Tools : Python (pandas, seaborn, datetime)

As a research scientist, my projects focused on inferential statistics, using Bayesian methods and linear mixed models. I have also worked on generating de novo genome data, assembling whole genomes and performing differential gene expression analyses. Here are some examples of the research projects:
When did scale insects originate?
Method: Bayesian inference
Tools : MrBayes, R (ape, geiger, phylotools)
GitHub Rep
Does genetic variation explains how female and male flies respond to food?
Method: Linear Mixed Model
Tools : Data Exploration Analysis with Python (pandas, seaborn, scipy, numpy, matplotlib), statistics with R (eg., lmer, nlme, ggplot2, tidyr, dplyr)
GitHub Rep
Genome assembly of an insect carrying an extra chromosome
Method: De novo genome assembly, transcriptomics
Tools : R (eg., edgeR, dplyr, tidyverse)
