Senior🎓
Top SchoolJim Java is a Staff Scientist with over a decade of experience applying statistical computing, machine learning, and natural language processing to problems in genomics, infectious disease, and authorship identification. He combines deep expertise in R and high-throughput data analysis with low-level programming experience, having built everything from microcontroller firmware to large .NET systems and cluster-based bioinformatics pipelines. At the University of Rochester he analyzes flow-cytometry and genomics data for translational research, bridging biostatistics, epidemiology, and software engineering to deliver reproducible workflows. His background in English literature and linguistics informs his NLP work and interest in authorship and ethics, a rare interdisciplinary edge that augments his technical rigor. Based in Rochester, NY, he seeks local or mostly-remote roles where he can apply statistical insight, robust software development, and thoughtful communication to research-driven projects.
