about me

I'm a bioinformatics scientist at the Arc Institute. My research focuses on developing computational methods to study cell state transitions from single-cell perturbation data. I'm broadly interested in dynamical systems modeling, complex networks,machine learning and all their intersections in the context of systems biology.

I recently completed my PhD in bioinformatics at the University of California, San Francisco in the Kampmann Lab and the Goodarzi Lab. There I studied the role of gene regulatory network dysfunction in neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Before starting my PhD I worked for 3 years with Bryan Greenhouse at the EPPICenter where I developed tools for high throughput population genetics analyses of malaria transmission.

I am a huge advocate for open source and this site is a means to distribute the tools that I have built, tutorials for bioinformatics analyses, and other things I find interesting in that space.
