Bio:

I am a PhD candidate in Chemical Engineering at Stanford University.

I am advised by Anshul Kundaje in Computer Science & Genetics, and co-advised by Brian Hie in Chemical Engineering & Data Science.

My interest is in all things DNA 🧬, proteins 🧪, and engineering 🤖.

My current research focuses on understanding the interface of DNA and proteins at molecular-scale using deep learning methods.

Previously, I worked in management consulting at Bain & Company as an Associate Consultant in the pharma, healthcare & med tech practice.

For my Master’s degree, I studied Biotechnology at the University of Cambridge, advised by Graham Christie, investigating in engineering bacterial endospores for DNA data storage.

For my undergraduate degree, I studied Chemical Engineering at Columbia University, advised by Ponisseril Somasundaran, investigating electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 using non-toxic, earth-abundant metals. I was an Egleston Scholar in the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.

My other interests include craft beers 🍺, oil painting 🎨 and skiing ⛷️.
