I am currently a senior postdoctoral fellow at Harvard Medical School in Dr. Dr. Debora Marks’ Lab, where I lead the Predictive Modeling for Vaccine Design group. My research interests revolve around several key areas, including the development of generative machine learning models, protein engineering, and the design of long-lasting vaccines and therapeutics.

I completed my PhD at Dalhousie University, where I was supervised by Dr. Joseph Bielawski (Department of Biology and the Department of Mathematics and Statistics), as well as Dr. Edward Susko (Department of Mathematics and Statistics). During my doctoral studies, my work primarily focused on building plausible evolutionary models and examining the impacts of model misspecifications on inference of selection pressure.
