Biography
I’m a PhD student in Biological Engineering at MIT interested in developing new tools for single-cell and spatial omics approaches to study host-pathogen interactions.
I grew up in San Jose, California and moved to the East Coast to attend Amherst College, where I majored in Chemistry and Computer Science. I worked as a summer student in the Kortemme Lab at UCSF, developing methods to predict SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein binding to human ACE2 mutants. After graduation, I spent two years as a research associate in the Greka Lab at the Broad Institute, elucidating the cargoes of TMED receptor proteins.
In my free time, I enjoy yoga, exploring coffee shops and food around Boston, and experimenting with new cooking recipes.
