Hello There General Kenobi!

About Me

I'm interested in using technology to solve problems in Medicine, Biology, and Healthcare. I'm currently a graduate student at Yale, studying Computational Biology and Biomedical Informatics. I'm interested in Genome Language Models, LLMs, and the privacy and security of biomedical data, which is what I'm researching at the Hoon Cho Lab. Lately I've been drawn to how models represent structure — Graph Language Models, knowledge graphs, and rethinking attention mechanisms. Outside of school, I'm interested in Cooking, Photography, and Cycling. These days I'm excited to be working on Snowball, an AI-powered farmhand for dairy farms, and exploring the intersection of vertical AI, physical AI, and agriculture; before that I worked on Prediction Markets.

I recently graduated from the University of Massachusetts Amherst with a B.S. in Computer Science. While I was there, I learned a lot about Information Retrieval and MLIR, Machine Learning, Large Language Models, and Protein Language Models. I worked with Dr. Annie Hartley at the LiGHT Lab on Multilingual Information Retrieval and Medical Large Language Models, and with Dr. Anna Green on PLMs and Computational Biology. I also interned as a Software Engineering Intern at NVIDIA, where I worked on the ML Ops team, and as a Technical Product Manager Intern at Equal. Outside of academics, I founded and served as president of the UMass Cooking Club, which I grew from 0 to over 800 members.
