Welcome to my personal website!

I am currently working at the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center at the Columbia University Irving Medical Center, where I am part of the Iketani Lab. For my recent work, please see publications.

I am an aspiring physician-scientist. I am particularly interested in high-throughput, data-driven approaches to understanding disease biology. I believe that advances in sequencing and functional genomics present exciting opportunities to build large, high-quality biological datasets that can inform personalized and diagnostic medicine.

Prior to joining the Iketani Lab, I worked on computational studies of polymer nanocomposites and metal-protein interactions. I received my B.S. in Chemistry from Stony Brook University in 2024.

Outside of science, I enjoy swimming, reading (see what’s on my bookshelf), and playing chess.
