                I am a PhD student in the UCSF-UC Berkeley Joint Bioengineering program, currently affiliated with the Conboy Lab. My academic background includes a B.A. degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology and minor in Data Science, which I earned from UC Berkeley.

                  My prior research endeavors primarily on investigating the process of aging. Intrigued by the profound epigenetic intricacies that underlie aging, I aspire to harness these mechanisms as a potential avenue for realizing rejuvenation at various scales. Representative papers are shown below.
