About
I'm a PhD student at UCLA studying with Gerard Wong. My research applies modern ML methods such as deep kernel learning and transformers to studying the properties and interactions of peptides to find sequences with optimal properties for use cases like drug development!
I'm also a Julia enthusiast! Have a look at my lipid phase SAXS analysis toolkit, Himalaya.jl and my Wordle implementation.
Previously, I studied Computer Science and Biology at Washington University in St. Louis, ultimately receiving BS and MS degrees.
