Excited to say that I am on the job market and will be looking for postdoc or job opportunities either remotely or in the Seattle, WA area. I will be finishing up my PhD in Plant Genomics/Bioinformatics sometime late summer or early fall of this year. Please let me know if you know of anything!

I’m headed to #PAG33 in San Diego, CA this week! Very excited to present a poster on some LTR TE family clustering titled “Full Sequence Clustering Reveals Hidden Structural Diversity and Evolutionary Dynamics in LTR Retrotransposon Families”. I’ve attached the abstract if you’d like to read more.
My first first author manuscript has posted! I’m very excited to share SWIF-TE with yall. It is a fast, memory efficient tool to identify novel TE insertions from short-read data. 🧬 #TEworldwide #transposons
