Research Interests

I work with my colleagues at the Biological Data Science lab and our collaborators to develop mathematics and computer science necessary to answer rigorous questions about molecular data. Our ultimate goal is achieved when we observe how molecular biology and data science shape modern mathematics and computer science.
