Microbiologist & Bioinformatics Researcher
Life, through
a different lens.
I study biological systems with computational tools.
My interests span phage genomics, microbial communities, and reproducible research.
The academic record
Research & publications.
At the intersection of
biology and computation.
My research spans phage genome annotation, comparative genomics, and microbial communities. I bring programming and data analysis to biological questions, with a growing interest in reproducible computational workflows.
