Welcome to my homepage!

I am a 6th-year Ph.D. student, advised by Dr. Ziv Bar-Joseph (Systems Biology Group) and Dr. Robert Murphy (Murphy Lab). My interests are in computational biology and statistical machine learning. I focus on inferring protein targeting pathway that consists of protein interaction and sequence motif. I also work on aligning gene and protein expression time courses to study disease progression (collaborating with Dr. Naftali Kaminski).

I spent the summer of 2009 at Microsoft Research working on inferring phylogenetic trees of HIV that take selection pressure indicated by HLA into account, mentored by David Heckerman. During my master I worked with Dr. Eric Xing on decoding cis-regulatory modules, evolution of Drosophila regulatory network, and forensic inference based on genetic polymorphisms. I was TA for Graduate AI (15-780) at fall 2007 and Undergraduate AI (15-381) at fall 2008.
