Work History
Fun2FITS Pipeline Development
Boston University
Boston
05.2025 - 08.2025
- Designed and implemented modular and portable Nextflow DSL2 pipelines, a novel fungal metagenome prediction framework, enabling inference of metabolic potential from ITS amplicon data through the integration of static NCBI-derived reference databases and MycoCosm metadata.
- Refactored existing shell/R scripts into scalable pipeline modules, removing live API dependencies by building static taxonomic reference files from NCBI GBFF/FASTA datasets, improving performance, and offline usability.
- Deployed and tested the workflow on Boston University’s HPC environment with SGE, Conda, and Singularity, ensuring scalability and reproducibility across large environmental datasets.
Summer Intern in Drug Modelling
Sanofi R&D
06.2023 - 08.2023
- Developed and trained a deep recurrent neural network (RNN) using PyTorch to predict binding affinities between peptides and MHC-II molecules, directly supporting neoantigen discovery and immunological research.
- Analyzed and visualized MHC-II sequence data from IEDB, implementing advanced pre-trained models (ESM-2) and correlation analyses to enhance prediction reliability.
- Delivered detailed exploratory analysis and predictive modeling reports, clearly identifying data distribution patterns and model limitations, contributing insights to refine ongoing R&D processes.
