Hello!

I am a fourth-year undergraduate student at the University of Toronto studying computer science and math. Academically, I am interested in the intersection of machine learning and the life sciences, and in my spare time, I enjoy digital painting (I drew the aloe plant on the right).

Currently, I am fortunate to be part-time (previously, co-op) at Deep Genomics as a machine learning research intern. Previously, I have worked with Mario Krenn and Professor Alán Aspuru-Guzik on the SELFIES string-based molecular representation, and Juhan Bae and Professor Roger Grosse on influence functions (funded by NSERC USRA).

Please find attached my CV and transcript below.
