Rayaan Mirkar

Hi, I'm Rayaan, and I am passionate about using computational methods to analyze and understand advanced genetic material.

I am current working on implementing BiLSTM (bidirectional long short-term memory) neural networks, which excel at recognizing and capturing long-term patterns and motifs across a bacteriophage's proteome, with the goal of being able to eventually classify phage lifestyle with greater context and accuracy. I am also exploring efficient genome chunking methods for computationally efficient training.

I'm a freshman at Edison High School, where I am studying computational biology, neuroscience, and machine learning.
