== About Me
I am a second year undergraduate student in the departments of Computer Science
and Biomedical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. I am interested in how
mathematics and scientific computation can help us understand and change the
world we live in. My aim is to merge my creativity and curiosity with my passion
for research to solve complex problems faced by humanity today.
Entering college, I knew that I wanted to answer questions in both medicine and
machine learning. Combining these interests has lead me to the field of
computational medicine, where I am developing intelligent and personalized
medical solutions.
Research has always been a passion of mine, dating back to high school. Through
my own independent work, I have gained experience writing grants, designing
experiments with human subjects, analyzing high-dimensional data, and presenting
to experts at events like the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair.
I am looking to expand my exposure to diverse disciplines where machine learning
can make meaningful and interesting contributions, such as public health,
energy, and music.
