Having completed a graduate certificate course in Statistics with merit in 2019 from Birkbeck College, University of London, I successfully completed an MSc in Applied Statistics and Operations Research as a part-time student from 2020-2022 at the same college. The modules taken in the course included Probability and Stochastic Modeling, Statistical Analysis, Stochastic Systems and Simulation, Bayesian Methods, Analysis of Dependent Data, and Linear and Non-linear Optimization, providing me with a solid theoretical foundation for statistical modeling and machine learning.

In addition to the modules, I conducted research to evaluate evolutionary distances among seven human-infecting coronavirus strains using two approaches. One approach utilized genomic rearrangement permutation data while the other used multiple whole genome sequence alignment data. Both approaches employed Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulation under a Bayesian framework to sample evolutionary distances. The simulation data were then fitted with a Gumbel distribution using maximum likelihood method. The results indicated that SARS-CoV-1 and MERS are closely related to SARS-CoV-2 and are highly pathogenic, while relatively less virulent strains appear to be distantly related to SARS-CoV-2.

Over the past 5 years, I have gained a significant amount of teaching experience, covering subjects such as Bioenergetics, Structural Biology, System Biology, Bioinformatics, and Str. My educational and research background is diverse, including Computational/Empirical Biochemistry, Bioinformatics, and Molecular Biology. I have been involved in industry-academic collaborative research projects and have experience working in multidisciplinary environments. I am approachable, friendly, supportive, and strive to lead by example. Read less
