computation enthusiast and language geek

Bio

I am a researcher in the field of bioinformatics with a focus in large language models and genomics. I completed a BS in Computer Science with a concentration in Intelligent Systems and minor in Linguistics at the University of California, Irvine. Previously, I worked with GPT-Codex for my senior thesis on code comprehension, supervised by Dr. Richard Futrell. Currently, I am with the Computational Neurobiology Laboratory at the Salk Institute, led by Dr. Terry Sejnowski and Dr. Margot Wagner.
