About:

I design new machine learning approaches for modeling biological systems. In particular, I'm interested in how artificial intelligence can inform better experiment design for biological discovery. My recent work has focused on computationally guiding the engineering of cells using genetic perturbations.

Currently, I lead a machine learning group at the Arc Institute, where we are working on building a virtual cell by combining large AI models with massively scaled data generation. Previously, I completed my PhD at Stanford University under the guidance of Jure Leskovec and Stephen Quake. I retain a visiting affiliation with the Stanford Department of Computer Science.
