PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Confidential, Piscataway, NJ

PhD Candidate

Responsibilities:

Modeled the network of correlations amongst HIV protease electrostatic mutations as a 3-state Potts model.
Applied highly efficient graph-theoretic inference methods, belief propagation and susceptibility propagation, written in C to estimate the fitting parameters of the 3-state Potts model from the distribution of observed probabilities.
Scored sequences predicted using the Potts model with a physics-based energy function written in Perl to obtain expected energies for each sequence.
Libraries for data collection, correlation analysis, and interfacing were written in java.
Modeled a probability distribution of drug-resistance mutations using a 2 state log-linear Ising-like model with parameters fitted using R, constraining die model to fit bodi die univariate marginals and die bivariate marginals from observed data.
Wrote hierarchical clustering software in Java, implementing it for the use of molecular clustering with the input criteria being Cartesian coordinates and torsion angles, and applied it to understand the diverse binding modes of HIV RT
