I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at Rice University in Dr. Luay Nakhleh’s lab lab. My research interests lie at the intersection of computer science, mathematics, and biology. I have received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Rice University under the guidance of Dr. Todd J. Treangen. I have previously completed a B.Sc. with Honors in Mathematics, and a B.Sc. in Computer Science at the University of Chicago.
