      As a College Summer Research Fellow, I contributed significantly to a project aimed at developing a visualization tool for analyzing linkage disequilibrium (LD) across diverse populations. This project utilized data from the 1000 Genomes Project and relied on computational tools such as Python and Snakemake. My role involved designing and performance-testing novel strategies for the efficient storage of LD data, with a particular focus on exploring the use of banded and adaptive matrices. My research efforts culminated in a presentation at the 2021 College Summer Research Symposium. Show less
