🎒 I am a 3rd year PhD student and NSF CSGrad4US fellow in the Department of Computer Science at Columbia University in New York, advised by Prof. Itsik Pe’er and Prof. David Knowles. I received my Bachelor’s of Science in Electrical Engineering from Texas A&M University at College Station. During my undergraduate, I was advised by Prof. Yang Shen.

👓 My research focuses on developing and applying novel machine learning and statistical models to address fundamental questions in computational biology. My work involves creating predictive models to understand genomic regulation and analyze transcriptomic data by integrating information from next-generation sequencing. I also develop statistical frameworks to model cellular dynamics by leveraging high-dimensional, single-cell datasets. My core expertise lies in building sophisticated computational tools to extract meaningful insights from complex and diverse biological data.

💻 After my bachelor’s, I worked at Texas Instruments, Dallas as Test/Product Engineer.
