I am a third year Ph.D. student in the Computer Science Department at Brown University where I am lucky to be advised by Ben Raphael. My research centers around designing algorithms for analysis of high-throughput DNA sequencing data of cancer genomes. In particular, I have recently been focused on trying to better understand and model intra-tumor heterogeneity.
I received my undergraduate degree in Mathematics from Pomona College in 2005. I worked as a software tester for Epic Systems, a company that designs electronic medical record systems, from 2005-2008, before receiving a certificate in Computer Science from University of Wisconsin - Madison in 2010, and my masters in Computer Science from Brown University in 2012. I am currently funded by an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.
