Research Interests – As a physicist who fell in love with biology, I want to use as much data as possible to understand how living systems work. My goal is to develop analytic tools and mathematical frameworks that mechanistically explain biological evolution, beyond machine learning techniques. More specifically, I study protein-protein interactions by assuming each protein is a computer that can re-program other proteins and themselves.
