Bio

I am currently a fourth year EECS Ph.D. student in Manolis Kellis' Computational Biology Group, which is a part of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) at MIT. I work on phylogenetics and comparative genomics with a focus on domain evolution.

I received my S.M. in June 2009 for my work in Professor John L. Wyatt's Retinal Implant Research Group. My thesis was on developing models for retinal ganglion cells through statistical inference.

I graduated summa cum laude from Rice University in May 2007 with a B.S.E.E. (Electical Engineering) and a focus in systems. While there, I also worked in Professor Lydia Kavraki's Physical and Biological Computing Group, where I used robotic algorithms to model protein flexibility.

Back in Summer 2006, I worked in Professor Anvar Zakhidov's Nanophysics for Devices Group at UT Dallas as part of the Welch Summer Scholar Program. I studied the structure and characteristics of photonic crystals.

I am also an official EECS blogger.
