About me
I am a fifth year Ph.D. student in the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University, and I plan to graduate in the summer of 2012. My advisor is Ziv Bar-Joseph, which makes me a proud member of the Systems Biology Group. My research interests are computational biology and machine learning, and I am especially interested in dynamic models of signaling and transcriptional regulatory networks.
During the summer of 2010 I interned with David Heckerman's group at Microsoft Research, where I developed techniques for learning causal networks from SNP, gene expression, and disease phenotype data. I received my M.S. in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon in May 2010 and my B.S. in Computer Science from Arizona State University, where I worked with Chitta Baral and Graciela Gonzalez in the BioAI lab.
