About me

Hello! I am a junior at MIT studying Computer Science and Biology, with an interest in developing machine learning methods for medicine. I am particularly interested in new geometric deep learning and generative modeling methods to enable breakthrough therapeutics for challenging diseases.

As an undergraduate researcher with the Uhler Group @ Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, I am working on geometric deep learning methods for RNA design. I previously worked with the Coley Group @ MIT Schwarzman College of Computing on graph-based generative models for molecular design.
