Joseph joined the Kwon Lab in 2021 as the Bioinformatician and Data Scientist for the lab. He did his PhD in the MIT Microbiology program working in Martin Polz’s lab on the temporal dynamics of closely related microbes from the coastal ocean. In the Kwon Lab he is working on making existing datasets in the lab easier for everyone to use and creating pipelines to do common tasks in the lab in a reproducible way. When he’s not supporting research projects in the lab, he is usually making coffee, watering his plants, or scouring the internet for new guitar pedals.
