The LCP_mom 🇪🇸🇲🇽🇦🇷🇨🇴🇵🇪🇪🇨🇧🇴🇨🇱🇵🇾🇺🇾🇨🇷🇵🇦🇬🇹🇸🇻🇭🇳🇳🇮🇨🇺🇩🇴🇵🇷🇬🇶

I’d honestly prefer living in Alaska, far away from people, but here I am doing bioinformatics research—specifically on Locally Consistent Parsing (LCP), a sketching technique for massive genomic datasets. People call me LCP_mom (don’t ask), probably because I’ve somehow mastered it. Research might not be my dream, but I’m good at it. When I’m not unraveling genomes, I’m a TA surviving endless grading and questions with a mix of sarcasm and surprising efficiency. If you’re interested in research, algorithms (in C/C++), optimization, or bioinformatics, feel free to contact me—or don’t.
