Twitter and biosecurity|dual-use (ongoing)
This is an ongoing early stage project in which I get data from twitter into a CouchDB. I am building a website to visualize my compiled data with flask. I do some natural language processing for sentiment analysis. One of my goal is to find dual-use topics… My most frequent words so far… I am …
Low-cost, modular, multi-strain diagnostic (ongoing)
This is the application part of the project I am finishing. We engineered yeast to induce growth arrest using a number of genes/inducers that we then characterized. We then used them as a diagnostic tool. We used nonlinear differential equations. We model our co-culture experiments and made predictions. We used a flow cytometer to collect …
Synthetic control of yeast culture growth rates (ongoing)
I am finishing a project started as a postdoc in the Klavins Lab at UW with Orlando de Lange and Alberto Carignano that we are about to publish. We engineered yeast to induce growth arrest using a number of genes/inducers that we then characterized. We then used it in a cool application. I work both …
