Hi, my name is Dean Belhoucine, and I was born and raised in Burlingame, California. I am currently an undergraduate student at UC Berkeley, where I study computer science with a focus in computational biology and bioinformatics. I currently conduct research as an assistant in the Wolf Lab working on high throughput genome assembly and analysis of Bacteroides strains.
Alongside my academics, I have a strong interest in both technology and community work. I’ve spent my summers working as a software engineer at Walmart Global Tech, and I volunteer at the Berkeley Basic Needs Center during the school year. Some of my favorite activities are playing pick up soccer with friends and reading about history.
