/me


i am a third year molecular biophysics phd student working in the wei wang lab at ucsd. read more about me here.

i am interested in deep learning for protein-protein interactions, protein language models, and ml-guided antibody engineering.

before ucsd, i studied chemistry at pomona college with professor roberto garza-lopez.

i also like making pourovers, studying japanese, and just recently got into photography.
