About Me
Originally from San Francisco, California, I completed my undergraduate studies in Physics at the University of California, Berkeley in 2005. Following a one year stint at the University of Arizona as a Ph.D. candidate in Biomedical Engineering, I worked as Associate Scientist at Archimedes, Inc. in San Francisco. From 2007-2009 I helped develop mathematical models of human disease, particularly obesity and diabetes, and investigated hypothetical medical interventions and the relevant impact on prognosis, comorbidities, and associated costs of treatment. From 2009-2011 I studied computational biology and bioinformatics at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, where I wrote my masters thesis in the area of accelerated, multi-scale algorithms for the stochastic simulation of chemical reaction networks. In my Ph.D. I hope to apply my computational and biological knowledge to developing novel models of stem cell differentiation and pluripotency, particularly in a stochastic, multi-scale framework.
My other interests include guitar, languages (so far German, and a little Spanish and French), programming (MATLAB, Python, C++, SmallTalk, Java, bash, ...), traveling (all over Europe and hopefully further), and exploring my new home in Bavaria!
