Dedicated to excellence in every project I undertake
I'm a molecular and computational biologist with over 15 years of combined academic and industry experience. I thrive at the intersection of wet-lab experimentation and computational discovery, turning biological complexity into meaningful scientific breakthroughs.
As a scientist on a company creation team at Arcadia Science, I lead rapid exploratory pilots that uncover evolutionary innovations with therapeutic and biotechnological potential. I architect scalable, reproducible Python-based pipelines and deploy machine learning tools to transform complex biological data into actionable hypotheses.
My research spans high-throughput genomics/transcriptomics, meta-analysis of large public datasets, plant metabolic engineering, and microbiology and microbiome science — with publications in top-tier journals including Nature Microbiology.
In my free time, I enjoy foraging, rock climbing, and doting on my two house rabbits.
