Machine learning
Contrastive and representation learning, manifold learning, generative models, deep learning
About
I am a computational and experimental biologist specializing in machine learning and single-cell genomics. I build computational frameworks to map and predict cell-state transitions, then test those predictions experimentally to uncover the underlying mechanisms.

Background
My training began in biological science and pharmacology, then expanded through biotechnology, genomics, statistics, and computational biology. That path shaped how I approach model development: biological context and experimental constraints should influence the algorithm from the beginning.
At UCSF, I develop methods for learning coherent cell-state landscapes and apply them to development, cancer, immunology, and perturbation response. I also build open-source software and mentor researchers working across dry-lab computation and wet-lab experimentation.
