I am an Associate Computational Scientist at The Jackson Laboratory in Farmington, Connecticut. My work centers on two areas: using dynamical systems to model cell fate decisions from single-cell genomics, and combining computer vision, machine learning, and mathematical models to quantify mouse behavior from video and connect it to its genetic origins.

I started out in mechatronics engineering, spent two years in a corporate job teaching myself physics at night, and then did a PhD on nonlinear dynamics and chaos. That is why, in both problems, I end up thinking about biological data in terms of state spaces, attractors and perturbations.

Predrag Cvitanović once remarked that a scientist owns the method, not the subject. That's the closest thing to a plan I've ever had.

Publications and preprints are on the research page; essays and notes are in the notebook.
