I worked with Kevin K. Yang, Ava Amini, and Sarah Alamdari on developing new approaches for AI-driven protein design.

I founded The BioML Society with my colleague Aaron Feller in Jaunary 2023. The BioML Society is a student-led research group focused on research, education, and outreach in applying machine learning for the biological sciences.

In Fall 2025, we launched the Charles W. Smith Jr. Graduate Fellowship in AI/ML for Biosciences, funding two doctoral students per year.

In Summer 2024, I organized a worldwide protein design competition with collaborators from The BioML Society and LEAH Labs. In this competition, we experimentally validated 12,000 protein binders that were created by teams from 42 different countries using AI-driven methods. This was covered in Nature and its manuscript will be pre-printed soon.

In Fall 2023, I designed and co-taught a lecture series on machine learning for biochemical applciations. This series went on to become an official course taught by Dr. Claus Wilke in Fall 2024.

My PhD is focused on developing and applying AI-driven methods for small molecule discovery and protein design. I am co-advised by Andrew Ellington and Edward Marcotte.

I was a research associate at Beyond Meat where I worked on projects in analytical chemistry (GCMS, lipids), lab automation (liquid handlers, data processing, LIMS), and flavor chemistry.

BS in Chemical & Biological Engineering at the University of Colorado. Research on Organic Synthesis in Wei Zhang's lab and microfluidic simulations in Robert Davis' lab.
