I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Bioinformatics. I am interested in developing computational methods to understand the dynamics of cancer genomes. Mainly, I am fascinated by the interplay between the genomic architecture and the adaptive mechanisms of tumor cells in their heterogeneous microenvironment.

Previously, I worked as a bioinformatician where I was involved in developing bioinformatics platforms for oncology diagnostics assays. During this time, pondering at clinical NGS data, I appreciated the importance of untangling DNA sequences and how it translates to helping a hopeful cancer patient. Also, I realized that each patient is unique, so is each cell, and I am excited to learn more about them- one cell at a time. I couldn't agree more with what Aristotle famously wrote, "The more you know, the more you realize you don't know."

While offline, I am up for anything outdoor. I like visiting new places, hiking hills, and kayaking.
