 We're continuing on our journey at the Research Symposium, and I'm here with my good friend Kyle and we're talking a little bit about your project. Can you just give us a brief overview of some of the research that you did? Yeah, so this is a project that's actually in graph neural network. And what this project is trying to do is it's trying to predict which kind of genes that we're doing here are related to or aren't related to a very hard topic of autism. To see which ones are related and which ones are. There's not a lot known about these genes. A lot of them are just kind of assumed and we're trying to kind of tackle that problem and see if we can maybe come up with something new. Yeah, it's really interesting. I feel like I said to you when I walked over autism is a very highly researched and buzzy topic. I'm curious, what sparked your interest in this research? Well, recently I've been kind of going through PPI networks with our protein to protein interaction networks. They work very similar to these and kind of from there we kind of developed this project. We went through from protein networks and then we kind of changed it up a little bit and kind of went with these interaction networks specifically in autism. And kind of seeing that we can kind of draw some really nice stories from these things and kind of really kind of help people moving forward with trying to figure out why these certain diseases and why certain things are a problem. How we can actually solve them. Really interesting. So did you have any faculty mentors along the way through this project? I did. Dr. Bender has been a huge help throughout this whole thing. He's been there with me throughout the whole thing. Yeah, what is that relationship like working with the faculty to dive into research a little bit more? It's very different. I would say at least from taking classes and doing that kind of thing, it's more of a one-on-one. It's more of a personal relationship. You're kind of their mentor now. You're not their student. You're not taking classes anymore. It's almost like you're actually with them doing their research. Yeah, I feel like that's a really special bond that you can form with faculty through this process. And how has the symposium been so far for you today? Chatting with peers. Tell us a little bit about it. So far it's been good. I've been catching up with a couple of people that I haven't seen in a while and kind of just checking out and seeing how everyone's been. Awesome. So tell us what's next. What's the dream to bring this research to the next step? We're looking to get it published. I think that's step number one. And then from there, I think we might even expand this further. We have an overview, kind of a general topic, but we kind of talked about how there's other actual diseases in autism. So like we can talk about Aspergers or Red Syndrome or schizophrenia. And those all kind of have a different meaning. They have different kind of have different graph structures to them. I think we can learn a lot if we kind of at least take at least something from there too. I think that'd be interesting. So interesting and so impressive. Thank you so much for sharing your hard work and congratulations. Thank you.
