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 asks how AI systems can move from pattern matching over biomedical data toward genuine scientific reasoning, which to me means generating mechanistic hypotheses, weighing evidence, and calibrating their own uncertainty. I'm interested in AI agents across pharmacology, proteomics, and cell biology, under the premise that the limiting factor in therapeutic discovery is not throughput but epistemic trust: whether a model's outputs can be inspected, contested, and defended well enough that scientists are willing to act on them.
If anything sparks your interest, I would love to hear from you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out!
