Hi everybody. Glad to see there's a forum for this kind of work.
I'm a Ph.D. student in statistics at UIUC but doing my research with Tandy Warnow in the CS department. Her main focus is phylogeny estimation and sequence alignment methods but I'm branching out into metagenomics and other applications as I learn more about the possibilities.
It's funny to have ended up in this world because I haven't taken a biology class since 9th grade, so I'm always trying to soak in the nuts and bolts of how this stuff is applied rather than just blindly developing new methods. Hope to keep learning more from you all!
