Not Technically Spherical
Hello there! I’m a Ph.D student in the CS department at UT Austin. My current research focuses on the use of compression algorithms to extract inferences from experimental data, as well as prediction for protein mutation stability.
In the past, I’ve worked on a wide array of problems, including accelerating agent-based models for disease simulations, inferring fault tolerance of distributed programs using machine learning, and trying to understand the impact of interdisciplinary research incentives on scientific collaboration.
In what spare time I have, I maintain starship and try to convince some of our TAs to not work so hard.
