Jared Samilow
I'm a junior at Brown University pursuing a degree in Computer Science–Economics. My project this summer, supervised by Dr. Shibu Yooseph, deals with analysis of microbiome networks. The project uses new ideas in graph theory, statistics, and machine learning to predict when certain species of microbes will be found with other species. More specifically, we apply a Graphical Gaussian Model to available data sets on microbe frequencies. Presentations and progress reports on this project are posted below. Contact me at jared_samilow@brown.edu with any questions.
