I’m a computer science Ph.D. student at the University of Pennsylvania. My research focuses on a mix of experimental design, Bayesian probabilistic modeling, and causal inference with a focus on biological & healthcare applications. Recently, I have been working on large language models in biology.

Previously, I was a computational biologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Institute, working with Quaid Morris. I completed my undergraduate studies in Mathematics at NYU, where I worked with Charlie Peskin at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences.

I interned at Flatiron Institute, Center for Computational Mathematics in summer 2023, working with Bob Carpenter on Bayesian modeling
