About me
Current research interests
I am currently a post doctoral researcher at the Science for Life Center working in the Subcellular Human Protein Atlas. My primary focus is in understanding how cells function using computational biology and machine learning with a focus on computational image analysis. In this role, I am also working on laboratory automation and efficient experimental design necessary for the big -omics type questions that require high-throughput data acquisition and analysis.
Additional research interests
Beyond my current work I am interested in a number of emerging technologies in the field of computational biology. Computational biology in the clinical setting is a rapidly growing field that will soon impact our daily lives through computational diagnostics, personalized medicine. Even automated surgeries and 3D printed tissues and organs are coming soon. This is an incredibly exciting time to be involved in these fields and I look forward being a part of it!
Thesis work
During my thesis helped build the cellorganizer tool for generatively modeling cells and their sub-cellular structure. I was particularly focused on cellular dynamics, using these generative models in spatially resolved simulations and building image-derived models of dynamic cellular processes.
Education
PhD in Computational Biology - Joint CMU-Pitt Ph.D. Program in Computational Biology
