My background is in developing algorithms, analysis of high-dimensional/time-series data, statistical modeling. Currently, I am a PostDoc working with Benjamin McMahon in the Theoretical Biology and Biophysics group at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). My projects at LANL includes: 1) LLM fine-tuning/inference, 2) Algorithm development, and 3) Data processing pipelines.

Previously, I was a PostDoc for one year and half working with Stacy Springs and Anthony Sinskey at MIT Center for Biomedical Innovation and Lead Scientist (member of founding team) in stealth-stage startups where I led the development of cloud-native data processing pipelines, and search & recommendation systems. I received my PhD from Michigan State University, advised by George Mias.
