Research Experience
Currently a Principal ML Scientist II in the Biology Research | AI Development (BRAID) department at Genentech.
Education
PhD from MIT in 2019, supervised by Philippe Rigollet; Postdoctoral Researcher at the Broad Institute in the Regev group, co-advised by Caroline Uhler in 2021.
Background
Develops methods for the analysis of omics data, particularly in the context of large-scale high-content perturbation screens. These screens enable mapping out functional properties of genes and gene-regulatory networks at unprecedented scale. To draw conclusions from the associated data, he harnesses mathematical, statistical, and machine learning methods such as statistical optimal transport and differentiable causal discovery.
