hello!

i’m a staff scientist at stanford in the department of genetics working with jonathan pritchard with whom i also did my postdoc.

i received my ph.d. in computational biology from uc berkeley, where i was advised by yun s. song.

i have been working mainly on problems in machine learning with applications to statistical genetics and population genetics. i am broadly interested in statistical and machine learning approaches to make sense of biology.
