About me

I am a third year Ph.D. student in the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University. 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.

I received a B.S. in Computer Science from Arizona State University, where I worked with Chitta Baral and Graciela Gonzalez in the BioAI lab.
