About

My work interests include applied bioinformatics, genomics, genetics and evolution. Data science and comparative genomics have been recurrent themes in my areas of work. A majority of my work has been on non-model species such as Rockfishes, European green lizards, Naked Mole Rats and Guinea pigs to name a few. The novelty of never before sequenced and the challenge of working with unfamiliar data excites me as a researcher.

I’ve been a computational genomics postdoc since 2019 at UC Berkeley in the Integrative Biology department mentored by Prof. Peter Sudmant. My grad school training was at iDiv, University of Leipzig in the Informatics department guided by Prof. Peter Stadler. Majoring in Bioinformatics at universities in India (UoHyd and TNAU), I moved to the US to pursue my passion for research.

My personal interests are video games, bouldering, hiking, photography (Insta) and board games. I love dogs (and cats), my SudFam niece calls me the dog whisperer.
