Layla Guyot is a data analyst, educator, and researcher, who joined the department of Statistics and Data Sciences at UT Austin in Fall 2020. She studied mathematics and physics as an undergraduate before completing an M.S. in Applied Probability and Statistics, just by chance. After gaining experience as a biostatistician, she combined her interests in teaching, statistics, and research to complete her Ph.D. in Mathematics Education at Texas State University. Layla has over a decade of experience coding in R and brings that expertise to explore real-world applications, emphasizing hands-on, active learning in her courses.

If you use the UT ProCard for payment of courses, please be aware that you can only charge ONCE per 24 hour period. Any attempts to charge more courses will fail, and you will not be registered.

For example, you may add one to many courses for one student into your shopping cart at any one time, and charge them to the ProCard, and you should receive a "registration successful!" page at the end. This is because you registered ONCE for ONE student. If you attempt to register and pay again, for example, for a different student, this will trigger the UT ProCard security system to stop payment, and your registration will not be successful. A page stating this fact will occur after you attempt to process payment. It looks a lot like the "registration was successful" page.

Ways to avoid this are: use the ProCard after 24 hours have passed, or the student may use their credit card and be reimbursed later through the usual UT accounting methods, or process the registration with an IDT, otherwise known as an Interdepartmental Transfer (talk to someone in your department that handles the accounts).

Dhivya Arasappan has over 15 years experience analyzing NGS data from multiple platforms. Her areas of expertise include RNA-Seq analysis (specifically involving large-scale brain expression datasets and coexpression network analysis), de novo genome assembly (particularly using hybrid sequencing data) and benchmarking of bioinformatics tools. She is the research educator for the Big Data in Biology Freshman Research Initiative stream.

Matt Bramble joined the CBRS team after working at MD Anderson Cancer Center analyzing a wide range of NGS data in epigenomics. His areas of expertise include: Hi-C (chromatin conformation) analysis, mouse somatic variant analysis, and single cell RNAseq analysis. He has 10 years of experience with R and Python, and Master’s degrees from UT in Molecular Biology and Statistics.

Anna Battenhouse is a research scientist in the lab of Dr. Edward Marcotte, is a member of UT Austin’s Bioinformatics Consulting Group, and leads the Biomedical Research Computing Facility’s mission to support IT and computational needs of the biological sciences community. She has extensive experience working with NGS data over the last 15+ years, and develops and maintains NGS analysis scripts for UT’s BioITeam. Anna received a B.A. in English Literature from Carleton College in 1978. After a long career in commercial software development Anna began her “retirement career” at UT Austin in 2007, and obtained a B.S. in Biochemistry in 2013.

Dennis Wylie joined the bioinformatics group in 2015. He has experience in NGS data analysis including variant calling and RNA-Seq-based biomarker discovery and predictive modeling (classification, regression, etc.). Prior to UT, he earned a PhD in Biophysics from UC Berkeley applying stochastic simulation methods in immunology, did postdoctoral work modeling the transmission of infectious disease, and spent six years as a bioinformatician in industry.
