I’m a second year M.S. student in computer science at UIUC. My research focuses on interpreting patterns of somatic mutations in tumors, in order to better understand cancer evolution spatially and temporally.

Outside of research, I am passionate about open-source and promoting inclusivity in STEM. I enjoy painting, hiking, and eating ice cream.
