I am currently an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Boston University. I also am a member of the Center for Advanced Biotechnology in the BioMedical Engineering Department and maintain my wetlab there. My research is at the interface of electronic design automation (how we build electronic components) and synthetic biology.

I was the instructor for UC Berkeley's 2008 and 2009 computational iGEM teams.

As a post doc I worked in the Donald O. Peterson center for electronic system design at the University of California, Berkeley. I focused on system level design methodologies. In particular I am interested in architecture modeling and refinement verification. I learned about OpenWetWare from from other users, and joined because wanted to be more involved in the community.
