Biography

Hi, I am currently a PhD candidate in the Pande Group at Stanford University trying to understand protein Kinase dynamics using Molecular dynamics(MD) simulations and Markov state models(MSM). I also work on methods to extend the interpretability of our models by borrowing techniques from statistics, informatics, and machine learning. I am further interested in extending the capabilities of MD by leveraging information from Markov models.

In my free time, I like to cook, hike, play squash, dabble in tennis, and do some light power lifting. My current lifting best is a 480lbs squat, 520lbs deadlift, and 290lbs bench which equals to a Wilks coefficient of 348.

I have been a teaching instructor for the following courses at Stanford University:

• CHEM36: Organic Chemistry Lab I
• CHEM31B: Chemical Principles II
