About

Hi! I'm a computational biologist. In broad terms, I'm interested in how cells turn genes on and off at the right time and place in development, and where this goes wrong in disease. More precisely, I use integrative computational analyses of multi-modal genomics data together with deep learning to understand how transcription factors shape cell identity during development and disease, with particular interest in how transcription factor binding sites are organized in regulatory elements in the genome.

Since 2023, I've been a CIHR Banting postdoctoral fellow jointly in Anshul Kundaje's and Will Greenleaf's labs in the Department of Genetics at Stanford. At Stanford, I've been puzzling over how to use sequence-to-function deep learning models to understand mechanisms of gene regulation in human cell types.

Between 2018 and 2023, I did my PhD with Claudia Kleinman in the Quantitative Life Sciences program at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, focusing on data-driven approaches to identify cell-of-origin in pediatric brain tumors. Before that, I studied Computer Science and Biology at McGill. I care about computational biology that emphasizes reproducibility, transparency, and re-use.
