Attn: I am currently looking for bioinformatics or computational biology/genomics or data science positions post-PhD (~summer 2025). Please get in touch if you know of any relevant positions by emailing me here!
I am a fifth year (time flies!) PhD student in the Committee on Genetics, Genomics and Systems Biology at The University of Chicago, studying population genetics. I am fascinated by the biological variation present around us, and am interested in developing novel computational and statistical techniques to understand the forces shaping this variation.
Outside of school, I enjoy meeting new people and making them laugh. I also enjoy thinking about how the world is shaped and seeing common patterns emerge across vastly different societies. On days when I'm blessed by the Divine Providence, I also enjoy putting these thoughts into writing.
Previously, I graduated with a Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering from the University of Wyoming in 2017, where I worked on parallelizing computer vision algorithms for NVIDIA GPUs. Right after, I joined the Buerkle lab to pursue my Master's in Botany, where I worked on extending a genotype and ancestry estimation model for mixed-ploidy species using genotype-likelihoods.
