I am a PhD student in Bioinformatics at the University of Manchester, supervised by Prof Magnus Rattray. My research focuses on applying statistical and machine learning methods to understand complex biological systems, particularly through the analysis of single-cell genomics data. I develop computational models to study how genes interact within cellular systems and how these interactions shape cellular behavior. A key focus of my work is building models for prediction and inference that are explainable and capable of providing mechanistic insights.

I obtained a BSc in Statistics and Computer Science from McGill University in Canada and a ScM in Data Science from Brown University in the United States. I currently serve as a Graduate Teaching Assistant for the Machine Learning and Advanced Data Methods course and expect to continue in this role during my doctoral studies.

Outside of research, I enjoy playing the piano and football, where I usually play as a goalkeeper or centre back. I also enjoy travelling; one of my most memorable trips was visiting thirteen U.S. national parks and many other cities and destinations in a single road trip last Christmas—an exhausting but extremely rewarding experience.
