About me

I am a data-driven and analytical CS PhD candidate at Emory University, specializing in Data Science and Bioinformatics. My passion lies in translating large, complex datasets into actionable insights and developing interactive tools to empower decision-making. I enjoy the challenge of managing complex quantitative projects from start to finish and have a proven track record of delivering novel solutions for target identification and disease characterization.

Since January 2021, I have been a graduate researcher in the Bhasin Systems Biomedicine Lab, where I have had the opportunity to lead and contribute to a number of exciting projects. I led the development of “CAR-Machine,” a Python platform that streamlines R&D by automating the identification of high-potential cell therapy targets from complex genomic data. I have also built “PedSCAtlas,” an interactive dashboard to make complex pediatric cancer data accessible and explorable for non-technical users. My work has also involved building and validating predictive models, such as a 7-gene SVM classifier for identifying malignant cancer cells.

I am passionate about using my skills in data science, machine learning, and programming to solve complex problems and make a real-world impact. I am always looking for new opportunities to learn and grow, and I am excited to see what the future holds.

Education

I graduated from the Georgia Institute of Technology with a BSc in Biomedical Engineering in December 2020. I then began my PhD in Computer Science and Informatics at Emory University in August 2021 and earned an MSc when I became a PhD candidate in May 2024.
