Biography

I’m a research assistant, working towards Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), focused in Computer Science from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU). I work on massive data & complex biological problems to understand how gene activity regulates disease progression and disease heterogeneity. My expertise includes Data Science, Machine Learning, Algorithm, Mathematical Modeling, and Optimization. I am proficient in C/C++, R, Matlab, and Python. I enjoy generating new ideas and devising feasible solutions to broadly relevant problems.

Projects

Self Assembly From a Single Molecule Perspective

As manipulating the self-assembly of supramolecular and nanoscale constructs at the single-molecule level increasingly becomes the norm, new theoretical scaffolds must be erected to replace the thermodynamic and kinetics based models used to describe traditional bulk phase active syntheses.
