Hello! I’m a Senior and joint Master’s student at MIT studying computer science. As a student researcher at the Broad Institute, advised by Prof. Wengong Jin and Prof. Caroline Uhler, my research aims to develop machine learning methods for biological applications. With a focus in drug discovery and biomolecular design, I am particularly interested in methods that bridge experimental, structure, and sequence data to make robust inferences.

Prior to the Broad, I was an undergraduate researcher in the Coley Group. I have also worked in industry as an ML Research Intern at D.E. Shaw Research, AI Research Intern at Absci, and Software Engineering Intern at Microsoft Research.

Outside of research, I am a co-organizer of the ML Protein Engineering Seminar Series – feel free to reach out if you are interested in speaking! I’m also a Teaching Assistant for the Break Through Tech AI Program at MIT.
