About me

I’m a fifth-year PhD student at the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering, University of Washington, where I’m fortunate to be advised by William Noble and Sewoong Oh. My research interests are in machine learning and computational biology. My current research builds deep learning methods to model biological sequences, chiefly in mass spectrometry-based proteomics.

Previously, I was a research intern at Amazon, Alphabet (Calico Life Sciences), Novo Nordisk and Stanford BMIR. I received a B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from Koc University, where I worked with Murat Tekalp.

Pursuing my passion for biotech entrepreneurship and community building, I’ve founded the Pacific Northwest chapter of Nucleate, a global trainee-led nonprofit supporting emerging entrepreneurs in biotech and helping them spin out of academic labs. (featured in GeekWire)
