Hi! I am an undergraduate in my final year studying Computer Science, Systems Science & Engineering, and History at Washington University in St. Louis. Currently, I am working with Professor Michael Brent, Woo Seok Jung, and Sandeep Acharya on mapping transcriptional regulatory networks using ensemble machine learning.

This fall, I will be heading to College Park to pursue a PhD in Information Studies at the University of Maryland. Through collaborations within this interdisciplinary program, I will explore how data and computing can play a role in addressing today’s hardest social and technical problems. I look forward to getting started!
