Postdoctoral Scholar · Advisor: Yang I. Li, PhD.
Postdoctoral work on sequence models for splicing and RNA therapeutic design, in close collaboration with Jian Zhou.
About
I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Section of Genetic Medicine at the University of Chicago.
ResumeMy work spans rare disease mutation discovery, splice-site regulation, and predictive modeling of biological sequences.
Outside research, I practice and teach Venetian-style glassblowing, which I learned at the MIT Glass Lab.
