👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolElizabeth Brooks is an instructor and bioinformatics developer with 11 years of experience building tools that translate complex biological data into testable evolutionary insights. Currently a PhD candidate in Genetics and Genomics at Notre Dame and a certified Carpentries instructor, she created freeCount, an R Shiny framework used for differential expression, network and functional analyses, and has applied it in undergraduate CURE courses. Her research spans transcriptomics of Daphnia populations to uncover UVR tolerance mechanisms, custom pipelines for ribozyme population dynamics, and earlier work on ModEDI, a software architecture modeling evolution with nonlinear developmental interactions. She blends strong computational training (MS in Computer Science) with hands-on teaching and workshop leadership, often prioritizing reproducible, user-friendly workflows that empower biologists to analyze their own data.
