Most of my research attention is devoted
to topological data analysis from an implementation perspective.
I blend theory from topology and geometry to solve data-driven
problems.
My thesis implements higher dimensional visualizations of the mapper algorithm, called 2-Mapper,
and constructs persistence barcodes for filtrations of mapper complexes.
I write code mostly in Python and R.
Currently, I am thinking about using topological data analysis to identify
points of genetic recombination in ancestral recombination graphs with
Jonathan Terhorst.
My research experiences also include applications of graph theory and topology
in earth science, climate science, and population genomics.
In particular, I have developed algorithms for inference of coalescent haplotypes in the genomics
library tskit under the mentorship of
Peter Ralph,
and I have experience as a statistician for the
Stanford Genome Technology Center under the mentorship of
Sharada Kalanidhi.
I am always looking for new and exciting interdisciplinary projects that could use
topological data analysis in the natural sciences.
