My research efforts stem from my focus to provide undergraduate students with the opportunity to experience authentic research within undergraduate courses. Primarily, I work on genomics and epidemiology-based projects with students using data from the All of Us Research Program. I also contribute to the research of Dr. Matthew Hemm, who studies novel small proteins in E.coli.
