About Me

Hello! I’m Carson Stacy, a Ph.D. candidate in Cell & Molecular Biology and an M.S. student in Statistics at the University of Arkansas. I’m fascinated by the intersection of biology and statistics—particularly in how advanced modeling techniques can accelerate discoveries in genomics and molecular biology.

Through my doctoral research, I’ve explored genomic determinants of stress tolerance using CRISPR screens and high-throughput RNA-seq studies. My passion for data analysis and reproducible science drives me to build reproducible workflows—from Nextflow pipelines to custom R packages for visualization, that uncover new insights from complex datasets.

Beyond my research, I’m dedicated to teaching and mentorship. I’ve designed interactive assignments, co-led a Genomic Data Analysis course, and developed several open-source tools that help both my peers and students learn more effectively.
