Research

Thanks to an NSERC USRA, this past summer I worked for Anne Condon in the Bioinformatics, and Empirical & Theoretical Algorithms Lab. I worked on RNA Folding pathways, and more specifically, repeated and temporary edges in these pathways.

Interests

Working in the BETA lab this past summer has really sparked my interest in bioinformatics. Mostly, I am interested in RNA folding pathways and RNA structure prediction. Sometime in the future, I'd like to work on biomolecular computing or computer science problems with a rather sizable side of statistics.

Publications

C. Thachuk, J. Manuch, A. Rafiey, L. Mathieson, L. Stacho, and A. Condon. An algorithm for the energy barrier problem without pseudoknots and temporary arcs, Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing, to appear.

This fall I am taking the following courses:
CPSC 312 - Functional and Logic Programming
MATH 307 - Applied Linear Algebra
STAT 305 - Introduction to Statistical Inference
