About

I'm a researcher in Machine Learning. While I used to conduct theoretical research, I am now focusing on applying it to real world problem. After some work using generative models for automatic music composition in a start-up, I am back to the academia in a systems biology lab where I apply and develop cutting-edge methods to sequencing data.
