Keith Simmon successfully defended his thesis on the 26th February, to an enthusiastic audience. It was standing room only, and Keith treated us to some of the best visuals the department has seen – including this figure of some of the problems plaguing metagenomic analysis. The talk also featured several live demos of his software that went off without a hitch.
Keith has gone on the take a position as a Bioinformatics Analyst at ARUP Laboratories, where his interest lies in the bioinformatics of infectious disease detection.
