My CV is here (last updated Aug 6 2021).

I am a Data Scientist in the Berkeley Bioinformatics Open-source Projects (BBOP) group at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

I was formerly a project scientist in the Data Science in Cardiovascular Medicine group (led by Dr. Peipei Ping) at UCLA, as well as the Program Coordinator for the Integrated Data Science Training in CardioVascular Medicine (iDISCOVER) program.

My PhD is in Integrative Life Sciences (from Virginia Commonwealth University).

The integrative part means I focus on how to bring different kinds of biological data together.

I work and have worked with bioinformatics, computational biology, text mining, microbiology, virology, and molecular genetics.


My mission in life is to embrace nonsense and to amplify the signal in the noise.



What do you do when you're not doing research?

I'm an amateur voice actor, often as part of live radio shows, previously with OTARP and and the Firehouse Radio Players.

I build software gizmos like Twitter bots: see MusicSuggestron and Talk About Science for examples.

I like photography but I'm not sure what that means in the modern world.
