he/him
I am currently a Postdoctoral Scholar in Andrej Sali’s lab at the University of California, San Francisco in the Department of Bioengineering and Therapuetic Sciences. I am fascinated by protein structure, machine Learning, evolution, protein-protein interactions and parisitology.
Previously, I completed my PhD in Phil Bourne’s lab in the University of Virginia and was an ML intern @ VantAI. Prior to my PhD, I worked in the labs of Anna Panchenko, Debbie Marks, Mark Blaxter, Dietlind Gerloff and Paul Adams.
Outside of the lab you can find me drumming for Orange Folder, booking DIY concerts at Chinchilla Cafe and bikepacking. I am also a proud member and organizer for UAW 5810, the union for postdocs and academic researchers.
