Biography

I am a postdoctoral scholar with Dr. Jimmie Ye at University of California, San Francisco. I recently completed my PhD in Biostatistics at University of California, Berkeley, working with Dr. Yun S. Song. My research is primarily driven by developing and applying machine learning and statistical methods to understand biology. Recently, I am studying how genes interact with each other in the multi-cellular organisms.

As a first-generation college student, I am devoted to promoting diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) in academia. Through various roles, including serving as the Inaugural DEIB Fellow at UC Berkeley’s Biostatistics Division, I have led many initiatives to increase accessibility and representation. Materials from my guest lectures of the Biostatistics seminar course at UC Berkeley can be found here, about eugenics in statistics, and algorithmic fairness.
