Research Interests 

Bjarne’s research is focused on pioneering undergraduate data science curricula to teach core data science skills. He is using several study systems to identify core skills that have utility across disciplines, including public databases for cancer biomarker development, a novel transcriptome assembly for Macadamia tetraphylla, and an analysis of gender bias in altmetric scores.
