About me

I am a computational biologist and software developer with a strong interest in single-cell techniques, systems biology and mathematical modeling. I am also passionate about developing open source software that is of use to the scientific community.

Projects

GAMBIT

GAMBIT (Genomic Approximation Method for Bacterial Identification and Tracking) is a software tool for the rapid taxonomic identification of microbial pathogens from WGS data. It has been in regular use at multiple state‑ and county‑level public health labs across the US for several years, where it has been used to diagnose actual patients.
