Hello World!
I'm Kepler Ridge, a Biology PhD student at Brigham Young University. Welcome to my GitHub profile!
- I have large interests in developing tools and workflows to lower the barriers of bioinformatics research for those without a computational background.
- My research focuses on metagenomics of extremophilic organisms, specifically from the Dry Valleys of Antarctica.
- I love science and machine learning, and helping others understand the hard science concepts as well as ethical considerations in those fields.
My goals at this time are...
-
Develop tools that increase computational availability to others.
-
Establish myself as a high-quality researcher in biology.
-
Ask me about my backstory and how I came to be where I am!
- Proficient in: python, R, and figuring it out
- Skills: snakemake, git, linux command line
- Here is my LinkedIn profile
