I am a first year graduate student in the Department of Computer Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin. I am being co-advised by Prof. Tandy Warnow and Prof. Randy Linder

Research

My research interests broadly lie in the areas of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics. I am currently working on the following:

  • Multiple sequence alignment and phylogeny reconstruction

    I am currently working on evaluation of performance and limitations of current two phase methods in the large scale reconstruction of phylogenetic trees.

  • Functional Genomics

    Machine learning techniques for learning gene functions from micro-array data.
