Hi, I'm a Research Scientist at MIT working on computational synthetic biology. I have a PhD in Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence.

I'm fascinated by how living systems self-organize - from gene networks to cells to organisms - and I believe we can learn to work with that emergence rather than against it. My research sits at the intersection of artificial life, evolutionary computation, cell simulation, and machine learning.

My goal is to build bridges between human design intent and biological behavior - essentially, translators for the language of life. So far, this has meant using AI to understand and program cells: from designing genetic circuits that let cells compute and make decisions, to simulating how multicellular structures grow and self-assemble.

I love simulating things in software, but I also love building stuff - and I'm most excited when the two converge.
