WORK HISTORY
Associate Computational Biologist Ii @Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard
Built a pipeline to analyze macaque social behaviors from setting up the experiment environment to data collection to data transportation, automatic video tracing, data analysis and visualizationo Tested different camera-lens combinations and configurations of them to determine the most appropriate setupo Completed the challenging work of multi-camera (3 cameras) synchronization and calibration, achieving an average reconstruction error of within 10 pixelso Created an efficient way to upload and download over 20 TB of video datao Finished Deeplabcut model training and tuning as well as video tracing within a very short time window, which saved a lot of time for downstream data analysiso Wrote up over lines of Python code for efficient data (pre)processing and analyzingo Provided insightful analysis of single monkey behaviors and social behaviors across two cohorts of monkey data• Building a 3-dimensional model to cluster macaque skeletons in social cageo Developed a method to evaluate the accuracy of 3D reconstruction at different positions of the cageo Finished the 3D model with three body parts in the heado Working on using the reconstructed 3D coordinates to analyze animal behaviorso Exploring the feasibility of applying the method to full skeleton data• Performed pseudo bulk differential expression analysis on single cell RNA-seq data usingDESeq2 and identified cell types by using hierarchical random forest in R• Managing 3 lab servers with over 750 TB of lab data.o Set up auto backup to AWS S3 Deep Archive for important data to ensure data securityo Optimized storage space across servers to ensure every lab member has enough space
