FEATURED PROJECTS
2019.6 - 2021.6
Computational genetics research focused on identifying causal variants at loci by fine mapping across multiple studies (MsCAVIAR) and tested on Type 2 Diabetes GWAS dataset.
2019.8 - 2019.10
A research-intensive exchange program in Marine Biology and Terrestrial Ecology at The University of Queensland, where we were trained extensively on field research techniques followed by two group research projects that we planned and conducted by ourselves.
2018.6 - 2020.4
Assisted marine geobiochemistry research on deciphering the cryptic methane cycle in salt marsh sediment. Proposed my independent project: Determination of Solid Ferric Oxide by Liquid Scintillation Counting (LSC).
