Data Science

Biography

My core interest is in applying the power of computer processing to problems that have traditionally only been approached by human minds.

I am currently a student in Berkeley's MIDS program, however the vast majority of my background lies in biological science. I have a B.S. in neuroscience and extensive biomedical laboratory experience (5+ years). Here is a recent publication that I contributed to in the journal Cell Reports. While these experiences have formed a strong foundation in analytical thinking and troubleshooting, they have made me increasingly conscious of the limitations we possess in attempting to understand a complex process (such as our biology). I look forward to opportunities in any domain that will further my understanding of data science of machine learning.
