I joined the Computer Science Department @ UMD as an Assistant Professor in July 2021, with affilitations in BEES, CBBG, and AMSC. My PhD (2020) is in Computer Science from UIUC, where I was fortunate to be advised by Tandy Warnow and Bill Gropp. I also trained at UCLA (as a postdoc with Sriram Sankararaman) and at UW-Madison (as an undergrad/postbac with Rasmus Birn).
