Computational Scientist

Statistics, Biostatistics, Computational Biology, Statistical Methods Development, Software Development (R packages)

I joined the Jackson Laboratory in 2020 as a Computational Scientist. I am focusing on the statistical analysis of single cell omics and the development of methods for data normalization, variance stabilization, differential expression and image processing. Prior to the Jackson Laboratory, I was a Senior Research Fellow at the Cardiovascular Research Institute of the National University of Singapore. Before that, I was employed in RIKEN Yokohama and in the Bioinformatics Institute of Singapore as a senior researcher. I received my Ph.D. in Statistics from the University of Bristol, UK in 2008.
