As of February 2020, I am working with the microbiomeDB team and Dr. Dan Beiting's lab to develop visualizations for their growing datasets.
Previously I was a postdoctoral fellow in the Complex Systems group led by Dr. Danielle Bassett. I received my Ph.D in Bioengineering from the University of Pennsylvania in December of 2019. My work focuses on developing methods from graph theory and algebraic topology to analyze the structure and function of biological networks. My research interests include employing and advancing topological data analysis, and more broadly interweaving abstract mathematical themes with biological systems.
Throughout 2016 I worked as an associate computational biologist in the Cancer Program at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. Here I performed data processing and analysis for Project Achilles and the Hahn lab.
I received a Master's in Bioengineering from the University of Pennsylvania in December of 2015. During this time I worked with Dr. Danielle Bassett and Dr. Chad Giusti using methods from applied topology to study the architecture of the human brain.
In the spring of 2014 I graduated from Boston College with a B.S. in Biology and a B.A. in Mathematics. From 2012 to 2014, I worked in the lab of Dr. Evan Kantrowitz kinetically and structurally characterizing a regulatory mutant of aspartate transcarbamoylase from Escherichia coli. I included this research in an Honors Biology Thesis which was presented in the spring of 2014.
