About me

I am a Computational Biologist working in immunogenomics with Dr. Soumya Raychaudhuri in collaboration with Dr. Michael Brenner at Harvard Medical School, Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH), and Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT (2017 - Present). My research interests lie in the development and application of computational methods and pipelines to decipher pathogenic cell states and disease-associated features for autoimmune diseases using high-dimensional single-cell multi-omics data. I have been collaborating with Dr. Laura Donlin on pathologic mechanisms of macrophages in autoimmune diseased tissues. I am also part of the BWH 10X Single Cell Genomics Core, where I provide consulting on bioinformatics protocols to academic customers such as immunology, rheumatology, pulmonology, and pathology labs.

During my PhD (2013 - 2017), I worked with Dr. Patrick Flaherty on Bayesian statistical modeling and machine learning for large-scale NGS-seq data to characterize patient heterogeneity in clinical samples. I also worked with Dr. Andrew C. Trapp on developing global optimization algorithms to solve variations of mixed membership models.
