My current area of research is in data science and public health, ultimately examining how COVID-19 transmission rates are affected by location and altitude. Bioinformaticians, data scientists, and other computational scientists gather at NLM to conduct revolutionary research. With guided lessons from co-workers, research that involves machine and deep learning techniques, and an abundance of extraordinary scientific questions to answer, there are seemingly endless opportunities to learn at NLM.
