I'm a graduate student in the Biomedical and Health Informatics program at the University of Washington. I am a mathematical biologist, and I study algorithms for the comparison, searching, data-mining, and analysis, of protein simulations in the Daggett Laboratory. My undergraduate degrees were in computer science, mathematics, and biology (with emphasis on algorithms and biochemistry) from Purdue University (2001-2005). For more professional information, please see my curriculum vitae.

Aside from research, I am very interested in social psychology, music, and music theory, languages and linguistics, civil rights, logic and ethical philosophy, queer theory, and many other nerdy topics. I also do part-time consulting work with the Gottman Institute in Seattle, a mathematical psychology not-for-profit research organization.
