About me

I am a principal scientist at Genentech. Previously, I did a postdoc at Stanford university, working under Chiara Sabatti. Before that, I got my PhD in biomathematics at UCLA, advised by Kenneth Lange and Janet Sinsheimer. Even before that, I got a BA in mathematics at UC Berkeley.

My research interests broadly include:

1. Statistical and mathematical methods for human genetics/genomics
2. Optimization and scientific computing
3. Writing efficient and user-friendly software packages

I love coding, speedcubing, swimming, anime, piano, and brewing milk tea! I also used to love jigsaw puzzles, yoyo, go, calligraphy….
