Postdoctoral fellow in the Marks lab (https://www.deboramarkslab.com/).

• I completed my PhD in the lab of Dr. Olga Troyanskaya at Princeton University. Broadly speaking, I have:
• Conducted cutting-edge research on deep learning, genomics, and computational biology.
• Initiated and maintained research collaborations with labs both outside and inside Princeton University.
• Mentored students at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

Cambridge, Massachusetts

I previously worked in the Kostic Group at the Joslin Diabetes Center and Harvard Medical School, where I used distributed cloud computing resources to analyze massive metagenomic datasets from the human microbiome and improve our understanding of type 1 diabetes.

San Antonio, Texas Area

I was part of the Hibbs Computational Biology Laboratory at Trinity University, where I also conducted research for my honors undergraduate thesis in computer science. This work was focused on quantifying somatic mutations, and exploring their role in the processes of mammalian aging. For my thesis I specifically examined the use of deep learning models to.
