I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at Rice Unviersity in Dr. Luay Nakhleh’s lab lab. My research interest lie at the intersection of computer science, mathematics, and biology. I have received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Rice Unviersity 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.
