Hi! I’m a 5th-year PhD student at Brown University in the Center for Computational and Molecular Biology. I am fortunate to be advised by Lorin Crawford and to work closely with Kevin Yang and Ava Amini. My PhD research broadly focuses on building methods to gain mechanistic insights into and push the frontiers of biological language models. My academic side quest is to explore how broad bio-sequence collection and subsequent scientific advances interact with society in practice, raising questions of utility, data ownership, and equity.

I completed by B.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from UC Berkeley. I’ve spent summers working on ML for proteins at Google Deepmind (with Andreea Gaane), Presicient Design (with Jae Hyeon Lee), and IBM Research (with Pin-Yu Chen and Payel Das).

I also spend time co-organizing a Machine Learning x Proteins seminar series and co-run after-school computational science workshops at Providence public schools with some of my wonderful peers.

You can reach me via email.
