I am a 5th-year PhD student in Biostatistics at Harvard University, advised by Rafael Irizarry and Giovanni Parmigiani. Previously, I earned a Bachelor's degree in Chemical & Biological Engineering from Princeton University. I work on statistical methods for genomic applications, with special interests in single-cell technologies and multi-dataset integration.
