About Me
Hey! I am an interdiscplinary scientist in the making. From nanotechnology to high-throughput molecular biology and bioinformatics, I am interested in many things. I am inclined to a research-driven career, combining wet-lab, engineering, and computational approaches for understanding why one would think of puppies when specifically asked to not to think about them (other adorable animals are just as applicable).
