I am a postdoctoral researcher at the High-Dimensional Statistical Modeling Team , led by Makoto Yamada .

My goal is to find genetic predictors of disease that are useful for diagnosis, treatment, and understanding the disease’s biology. Traditionally, complex diseases like Alzheimer’s disease are studied through genome-wide association studies ( GWAS ). However, conventional GWAS have failed to find a significant share of those genetic causes. I am interested in closing this gap by researching machine learning methods that extract more information from GWAS. Specifically, I superimpose GWAS information onto bi

With my multidisciplinary background in machine learning, statistical genetics, and biotechnology, I believe I am in a privileged position to tackle such questions
