Awards

Summer 2015 International Society For Computational Biology Travel Fellowship.

ISCB awarded me a travel fellowship to attend and present my research at the 2015 Joint International Conference on Intelligent Systems For Molecular Biology and European Conference on Computational Biology. My application was selected out of a pool almost entirely comprised of PhD students and post-docs. Spring 2015 Mach Research Fellowship, Trinity University.

Annually, each academic department nominates one rising senior for the Mach, which recognizes outstanding undergraduate research achievement; of this candidate pool the Faculty Research Committee selects 5 recipients. I received the computer science department nomination and was one of the University wide recipients. Spring 2015 Trinity CS Department Junior Research Award, Trinity University.

"Outstanding Junior Research Award – not awarded every year, this honor is given to recognize that junior who has a particularly distinguished record of Computer Science research." Fall 2014 GCURS Best CS Research Talk, Rice University.

A panel comprised of Rice University CS faculty judged my talk at Rice’s annual undergrad- uate STEM conference to be the best talk in CS.

Research Experience

May 2014 – Hibbs Computational Biology Laboratory, Trinity University. Present Work on large scale genomic data integration and machine learning (∼500B data points) in the context of finding new pathways that are related to osteoblast differentiation. Summer Bult Laboratory, The Jackson Laboratory. 2015-Present Research consisting of data mining and machine learning work to identify novel cancer biomarkers for the Patient Derived Xenograft project at JAX. I built a computational framework that uses statistically sound machine learning techniques to correlate drug response with genome based signatures in Triple Negative Breast Cancer Patient Derived Xenograft models. Through validation of predicted results, we evaluated models based on unsupervised clustering, a per tumor bayesian integration method, and a per gene multi-class support vector machine method.

Summer 2014 Center For Hellenic Studies, Harvard University.

Received an undergraduate research fellowship to study in residence at the Homer Multitext Seminar. Contributed work towards the publication of Iliad 12 in Harvard0s diplomatic Multitext edition of the Iliad, which is a project to combine multiple manuscripts of the Iliad and the marginal notes they contain into a set of XML files which are then parsed into a directed cyclic graph. Implemented an algorithm to perform optical character recognition on unusual 9th century Byzantine Greek ligatures that utilizes singular value decomposition and a support vector machine.

August 2014 – Watson Economics Laboratory, Trinity University. Present Ongoing work programming platform for simulating markets near wage equilibrium as well as work in computational game theory developing a meal prediction algorithm and user interface for Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems that pairs a machine learning algorithm with models from behavioral economics.

Summer 2013 Boston University/Mass General Hospital Bionic Pancreas Trial, The Barton Center For Diabetes Education, Inc.

While wearing the BU/Mass General Hospital investigational bionic pancreas discovered a garbage collection error in the production code that caused device to miss dosages. Code and Projects 2014-2015 Research, http://lumos.cs.trinity.edu/icibm). An interactive overview of my computational biology research that I presented as a first author poster at the 2014 International Conference on Intelligent Biology and Medicine. 2014 Toy Language, https://bitbucket.org/jluber/yeast).
