I am an Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering and Data Science at Stanford University, a David T. Morgenthaler II Faculty Fellow in the Stanford School of Engineering, and an Innovation Investigator at Arc Institute. I supervise the Laboratory of Evolutionary Design, where we conduct research at the intersection of biology and machine learning. Here is a curriculum vitae.

I was previously a Stanford Science Fellow in the Stanford University School of Medicine and a Visiting Researcher at Meta AI. I completed my Ph.D. at MIT CSAIL and was an undergraduate at Stanford University. I have also previously worked at Google X, Illumina, and Salesforce.

My other interests include “an Hydroptique immoderate desire of humane learning and languages,” with a particular attraction to early modern lyric poetry. Some of my favorite books can be found here.
