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 and maintain a lab 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.
