Berkeley, California, United States
Hi there! I’m a rising fourth-year undergrad pursing a B.A. in Molecular and Cell Biology and minoring in Data Science at UC Berkeley. I’m passionate about the use of biochemistry, functional genomics, and protein engineering as tools to investigate and combat disease.
- Engineering novel CRISPR-Cas9 PAM targeting variants using directed evolution and high-throughput screening strategies. - 2025-2027 NIH-MARC Scholar - ABRCMS 2025 Outstanding Poster Presentation Award in Biochemistry - 2025 and 2024 Rose Hills Scholar.
- Characterizing the functional role of reactive cysteines in alternatively spliced proteins during T-cell activation using CRISPR base-editing, chemoproteomics, and mass spectrometry
- LLM-powered pipeline for continuous evaluation of PubMed literature to identify, confidence score, and prioritize high potential therapeutic siRNA targets
-Applied graph neural networks (GNNs) to predict streamflow in small rivers within the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest -Analyzed 160K+ observations across 200+ rivers spanning 1980–2020 -Identified key relationships between streamflow and meteorological drivers (precipitation, temperature, wind, etc.)
