I am a third year Ph.D student in the
Computer Science Department
at Carnegie Mellon University.
My primary research interests include machine learning and computational biology.
I am currently working on nonparametric Bayesian models for genetic variations and their
associations to diseases and genetic demography.
My advisor is
Eric P. Xing.
