I am a third-year PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Washington,
where I am advised by
Su-In Lee. My research
interests include ML interpretability and its applications to biology &
medicine. Recently, I am especially interested in the interpretability of models
trained without labels (e.g., self-supervised learning).
Previously, I worked as an ML Engineer/Data Scientist developing ML models for
drug discovery at GSK and
AstraZeneca.
I received my MS in Statistics from Stanford. I got my undergrad degrees in
Statistics and Molecular & Cell Biology from UC Berkeley.
