Introduction
I am an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Kishony Lab at the Systems Biology Department at Harvard Medical School. I am also a Visting Scholar at the MIT Department of Mathematics.
I was graduate student in Mathematical and Computational Biology at the Mathematics Department at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. My advisor was Professor Bonnie Berger, and I collaborated with the Perrimon Lab at Harvard Medical School, which studies signaling pathways and development in Drosophila. I was a fellow of the Fannie and John Hertz Foundation. Before coming to MIT I was an undergraduate at the University of Illinois. For more information about my background, please see the bio and CV pages.
Research
My research focuses on the application of tools from applied mathematics and modern algorithms to understand biological systems. I collaborate with experimental laboratories to apply mathematical techniques to solve real-world problems in computational and systems biology.
The majority of my doctoral work was focused on the inference of networks from high-throughput data. Currently I am working on a number of problems in very-large dataset genomics. For more information, please see the research page.
