Chen Sun

I am a final year Computer Science Ph.D. student at Pennsylvania State University.
My research covers

Algorithms for Bioinformatics

Data Mining(Graph/Network Data, Big Text Data)

Machine Learning

I design algorithms and tools for human genetic variants analysis, genome assembly, and transcriptome data analysis.
I am lucky to have Paul Medvedev as my advisor.
