Bridging laboratory and computational approaches, I aim to solve problems in synthetic biology and bioengineering for the treatment of disease. Combined with strong soft skills, I hope to translate my work into a positive force in the real world. Outside the lab, I foster relationships between scientists and the community to make our practice more accessible to everyone.
