I hold a B.S. in Computational Biology from Brown University (2008-2012), where I led the CYRENE cis-regulatory annotation team in the lab of Sorin Istrail. My undergraduate research focused on transcriptional regulation, synthetic biology (iGEM), and gene regulatory networks. I entered the BBS graduate program at Yale University in 2012 and joined the Giraldez Lab in May 2013, where I am investigating translation and translational regulation during zebrafish development using a combination of molecular, genetic, and computational biology approaches. My ongoing goal is to supplement biological knowledge and practice with an understanding of the complex informatics required to reach conclusions at a higher level. When I’m not doing research, I enjoy bicycling, backpacking, digital music/art, cooking, and DIY electronics.
