About me
Hi there! đź‘‹
I am a Boston-based computational biologist specializing in the integration of complex multi-omics datasets to drive therapeutic target discovery. I am a U.S. permanent resident.
Most recently, I worked as a Research Scientist for the Digital Twin Innovation Hub (Dr Tomas Helikar’s lab) at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. I designed computational pipelines for the logical modeling of immune signaling networks to prioritize therapeutic targets in kidney disease.
From Feb 2023 - Dec 2025, I was a postdoctoral research fellow in Dr Ilya Korsunsky’s lab at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital. As my primary project, I led spatial analysis of the tumor microenvironment in human colorectal cancer to identify and characterize anti-tumor immunity hubs.
From Aug 2017- Jan 2023, I worked on my PhD in Biophysics with Dr Juilee Thakar at the University of Rochester, NY. My graduate work focused on algorithms which use multiomics data to model immune signaling networks in the contexts of health and disease.
My research interests include developing computational methods which exploit multi-omics datasets to learn the mechanisms of inflammatory and autoimmune disease.
In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, going to the theater and to art museums, and spending time with family.
