About Me
I'm a Computer Science PhD student at the University of Toronto supervised by Dr. Alan Moses. I am interested in a lot of things but especially in the intersection of biology and machine learning. My recently completed MSc research (Unsupervised Whole-Genome Representation Learning Captures Bacterial Phenotypes) developed in me an intense interest in microbiology. During my PhD I hope to demonstrate how deep learning can transform this field.
I joined the Moses lab in September 2023 and began my PhD upon completing the MSc program in January 2025. Prior to this I completed my undergraduate degree in Software Engineering at McMaster University, during which I interned as a Data Scientist at the Royal Bank of Canada and a Machine Learning Software Engineer at Borealis AI. While I have always been interested in working with data, I discovered my interest in computational biology late, and am thankful for being exposed to the field through undergraduate research in the labs of Dr. Nathan Magarvey at McMaster and Dr. Kieran Campbell at the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute.
I also do things other than research sometimes too which at some point I will add to this page!
