I’m a PhD candidate in the
Integrative Program in Quantitative Biology (iPQB) and a member of the
Sali Lab at the
University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). Before that, I was a systems analyst in the
Kerfeld Lab at the
DOE Joint Genome Institute. My research interests span the broad, growing field of computational biology: the leveraging of computer science and mathematics/statistics in order to solve biological problems. I am currently developing computational approaches to 1) determine conformations of proteins in a probabilistic, data driven fashion and 2) use 3D similarity of small molecules to predict binding to protein targets, in collaboration with the
Keiser lab.
