About
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Biomedical Data Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I am part of the Kendziorski Lab. My current work focuses on bioinformatics and LLM agents: building agentic systems that can power bioinformatics workflows and help researchers reason over complex biological data.
I built CASSIA, a multi-agent tool for automated cell annotation, and AutoZyme, an agentic framework for optimizing bioinformatics software.
In my spare time, I love singing, playing the piano, playing basketball, and watching anime.
