I'm a fourth-year PhD student in the Computer Science department at Stanford. My advisor is Serafim Batzoglou. I'm interested in computational biology, especially comparative sequence analysis, and machine learning. I did my undergraduate work at Washington University in St. Louis, where I majored in Computer Science and Physics.
