Personal Profile

 

I am a PhD candidate (3rd year graduate student) in Computer Science at University of California, Davis. I am currently working in Prof. Jonathan Eisen’s lab in UC Davis Genome Center. My current project is focusing on function prediction and community detection in large scale protein family networks. I’m trying to predict the functions of unknown protein families based on their connections to the rest of the members in the community.
