🌟 Fulbright Scholar | Computational Aging Researcher | Graduate Student @ NYU

I'm deeply invested in unraveling the thread - or rather breaking the shackles - of aging through computational biology. While most people's idea of a fun time is enjoying a light-hearted sitcom on Netflix, mine is finding a new dataset, going on RStudio, and running my scripts to see if I can uncover some new mysteries of aging!

The end goal is to end "end" goals; life does not have to be limited by biology - or at least it certainly should not be ♾️

• Developing biological aging clocks: predicting age correctly is the first step to understanding aging.
• Analyzing large-scale multi-omics datasets to find genetic targets: the answers are out there somewhere; we just need to look hard enough (or in the right places).

• Epigenetic aging
• Computational genomics of aging
• Machine learning for genomics

• When I'm not analyzing genomes, you might find me jumping out of a plane from 10,000 feet up in the air 🛩️
• Or I might be playing with my cat 🐈‍⬛
