I am interested in developing AI-driven scientific software and algorithms for life science and geoscience — building computational toolkits and systems that turn complex research data into data-driven discovery, from algorithm design to open-source software researchers can actually use, in close collaboration with experimentalists. Feel free to reach out if you would like to build something together.
