About
San Francisco Bay Area
I am a scientist with a PhD in Neuroscience & Genetics and a deep love of learning. Professionally, I have built a track record of independent discovery, tool development, and cross-disciplinary collaboration spanning drug development, gene editing, and neural circuit mapping. When not thinking about science, I enjoy building computers and networking gear, aquarium design, and coffee.
