I use mathematical modeling and computation to better understand and predict biological systems. I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University in the departments of Bioengineering and Applied Physics.

My current research interests lie at the intersection of microbial communities and human well-being. Microbial communities are everywhere, acting as our symbionts/pathogens and playing important roles in biotechnology and the natural environment. My ongoing work largely is in two major areas: (1) understanding small-molecule interactions between microbes and humans and (2) prediction and inference of microbial and viral ecological dynamics.
