I earned my B.S. in mathematics, as well as my M.S. in applied mathematics, from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. My work at RPI was primarily in mathematical modeling and simulation, developing computational approaches to study biological phenomena and systems. Currently, I'm a Ph.D. student in the interdisciplinary program of computational biology and bioinformatics, supervised by Dr. Peng Qiu and Dr. Todd Streelman.

My current research interests are in statistical learning and data science applications in single-cell genomics. My work pursues developing scalable analytics pipelines for automated analyses of single-cell (i) transcriptomics; (ii) epigenomics; and (iii) spatially resolved genomic datasets to enhance the accessibility of large-scale NGS data to both biology researchers and general users for drawing biological insights.

Research Interests

  • cross-species single-cell multi-omics analysis
  • data-driven modeling in mathematical biology
  • behavioral neuroscience and social behavior evolution
