About me

I am a 2021 Schmidt Science Fellow working in the lab of Dmitri Petrov at Stanford University. I also closely collaborate with Madhav Mani at Northwestern University. My two biggest scientific passions are Evolution and the Physics of Living Systems. Although these two topics might seem very different, I believe that understanding evolution requires physics-like approaches, especially techniques borrowed from statistical physics and complex systems.

I did my Ph.D. with Rob Phillips at Caltech, working at the interface between physics and biology, where I explored how cells can gather information from the environment, process it, and build a response to keep them alive. If you are interested, you can check my thesis.
