About me

I am a fourth-year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at Duke University.

My general research interests are in computational biology and statistical learning, with a focus on applying statistical methods and machine learning techniques to discover significant DNA motifs in eukaryotic genomes.

Currently I am working on algorithms for DNA motif discovery, under the supervision of Prof. Alexander J. Hartemink.
