Benjamin Crysup

Dr. Benjamin Crysup is a Research Assistant Professor in the department of Microbiology, Immunology and Genetics at the University of North Texas Health Science Center. After getting a Ph.D. in computational chemistry, he has pivoted to using mathematics and computation to create, improve and implement techniques in the fields of forensic and applied genetics under the auspices of the Center for Human Identification. Examples of recent research include proper genotyping in the context of mixtures (including atypical ploidies), applying machine learning to limit error in the estimation of haplotypes and developing a more conservative read merger.
