I am interested in research at the intersection of computer science and pediatric disease and have spent my first year at Penn exploring both fields. This summer, I have been primarily working as a wet lab research assistant in the Wolpaw Lab at CHOP, in which I help create and assess 3D models for neuroblastoma. I am also part of the Shen Lab, where I have been exploring the use of AI for computational drug discovery. I am excited to merge the skills I gain from both experiences in my own independent project.

Outside of research, I am part of a variety of student organizations, including the Asian Pacific American Pre-Medical Student Association, Service Link, the Brain Exercise Initiative, and Penn Chamber. I am also a College Peer Advisor and love meeting new people and talking to them about research!
