Dr. Bita Khalili

• Implemented statistical total correlation spectroscopy analysis and performed modular analysis to automate metabolite identification in large NMR datasets (~ 1000 samples) • Performed Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) • Teaching assistant for "data analysis in Biology using R" course

• Collaborated closely with Biologists to develop mathematical models to study signaling pathways • Developed 3D Java simulations using finite volume discretization to solve reaction-diffusion partial differential equations (PDEs) to study cell polarity • Statistical analysis of experimental and computational data

• Developed Java simulations and mathematical model to study the partner selection mechanism in fission yeast cells • Made COMSOL simulations to verify self-developed solutions • Teaching assistant for "Introductory Physics-Mechanics & thermodynamics", "Introductory Physics Laboratory-Electricity & magnetism" and "Introductory Astronomy Laboratory" courses.
