Jiaojiao Zhou is a Biostatistics PhD candidate and data-savvy research scientist with nine years’ experience applying statistical programming (R), HPC workflows, and database engineering to real-world problems. At Roswell Park she builds reproducible genomic pipelines (snakemake/conda), accelerates analyses with parallel computing and Slurm, and integrates spatial transcriptomics and single‑cell data to identify biologically meaningful signals. Her open‑source contributions to the OceanBase distributed relational database show a strong back‑end focus—fixing core C++ issues around sequence management and auto‑increment services—highlighting skills that bridge statistical methods and production database internals. Earlier roles in analytics and supply‑chain projects cultivated business-facing reporting, KPI design, and big‑data customer profiling, plus practical training experience. Based in Buffalo, she combines rigorous academic training (UB PhD, UConn MS) with a hands‑on, performance‑oriented approach to both research and systems engineering.
