About
Welcome to my personal blog, portfolio, and general forum of self-expression. Here you'll find my scientific interests, links to my work, and my socials.
I'm a curious individual. I love to learn and apply what I learn to what I deem the most important problems for humanity. We live in a time where humanity has more power and responsibility than ever before. I hope to bring solutions to the existential problems stemming from this. My primary focus is human augmentation through genetic engineering, morphological manipulation, and synthetic biology.
Focus
- LNP-EE-Predictor
- Building on work by the LNP Atlas and LNPDB groups at the Korea Institute for Science and Technology and MIT, curating an open-source database of lipid nanoparticle formulations for ML analysis. Developing, alongside Constantinos Skevofilax, a dockerized API with pre-processing, ML training, and analysis code in Python to predict encapsulation efficiency of novel LNP formulations.
- Cranio-Facial FEA
- A finite element analysis model for cranio-facial bone remodeling, focused on orthotropic pressures — tongue pressure vs. mouth breathing — and their long-term morphological effects.
- Disaggregated Packaging at Intel
- Advanced semiconductor packaging at Intel's Fab 9 in Albuquerque. Maintenance of the singulated die sort toolset, SOP design, process health monitoring, and QMS development. Ramped module availability from ~50% to ~92% as owner of operational indicators, reduced backside mylar residue defect rate from 18% to 0% over three months, and deployed a new operational-efficiency analytics dashboard.
Education
- University of Texas at Austin
- B.S. Biophysics · Certificate in Scientific Computation and Data Science
- Senior biophysics thesis on cellular mechanobiology — how extracellular matrix mechanics shape genetic expression, and how mechano-transduction pathways drive bone remodeling in response to sport and loading. Data science certificate work analyzed City of Austin crime statistics.
