About
I'm a research associate at Harvard Medical School, working in the Zitnik Lab with Prof. Marinka Zitnik in the Department of Biomedical Informatics. I also collaborate closely with Prof. Nils Gehlenborg and colleagues in the HIDIVE Lab. Previously, I completed my M.S. in Computer Science at Columbia University as part of the Columbia NLP Group, and my B.S. (Honours) at The University of Sydney with Prof. Zhiyong Wang.
My research interest focuses on how AI can move from producing plausible biomedical knowledge to making claims that survive biological scrutiny. I develop methods that integrate perturbational, omics, and literature evidence to reason about immune and cellular state, and disease mechanisms in immunology, pharmacology, and cell biology.
I am particularly interested in the backside of AI-assisted discovery: grounding predictions in mechanism, tracking conflicting evidence, estimating when a model should abstain, and prioritizing experiments that can change what we believe.
If anything sparks your interest, I would love to hear from you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out!
