I delivered the guest lecture to Computer Science students for their CS3110/CS5110 Bioinformatics module. The talk focussed on Next-Gen. Sequencing (NGS) and Transcriptomics and briefly discussed cluster computing and the cloud for analysis of RNA-seq data.

I am to present a talk at the MatBio '16 conference, the title is: Transcriptomics: Leveraging a MapReduce algorithm and Python for gene-expression analysis on Apache Spark.

This year I was editor and co-organiser with another PhD student.
