Background Link to heading
My career has spanned leading research institutions and companies including The University of Texas, the Texas Advanced Computing Center, the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research, the US National Institutes of Health, the University of Cambridge, and Nvidia. I completed my PhD with Richard Durbin and Stephen Chanock as part of the NIH Oxford-Cambridge Scholars Program. I’ve had the privilege of making what felt like science fiction a reality numerous times in my career, from helping build the world’s fourth-fastest supercomputer to inventing new technology at the world’s largest semiconductor company.
Currently, I work in the technology sector accelerating life science AI models for digital health applications, including building the world’s fastest protein structure prediction inference methods. I also serve as an instructor through the Wellcome Overseas Courses program where I teach NGS Bioinformatics and Cancer Genome Analysis (primarily in Latin America).
I love people, art, and food. I strongly believe that every voice matters and in addressing historical wrongs. I am covered in tattoos and love to ride my bike, hike, cook, make art, listen to music, dream, and just be.

Research Foci Link to heading
Accessible Pangenomics and Genomic Analysis
Developing tools and infrastructure to make genome analysis accessible, affordable, inclusive, and available to everyone.Digital Health Innovation
Building healthcare ecosystems that are more efficient for faster, better care through the deployment of efficient and privacy-first AI systems and accelerated computing.Radiation-Related Cancers and The Impact of Radiation on the Genome
Working with radioimpacted communities to catalog, preserve, and amplify the human stories and genomic data of the nuclear age so that we remember the risks these technologies pose to people and planet. I previously led the largest genomics study of papillary thyroid cancer in the aftermath of Chernobyl, which uncovered the primary mutational signature of radiation exposure.Sovereign AI and Data Management
Building the technological solutions required to implement data and AI sovereignty at scale. This includes collaborating with Indigenous groups leading policy and practice research and helping to implement their advancements in hardware and software in a collaborative and culturally-informed manner.Data Center Design
Leveraging advanced computing architectures, including GPUs and AI acceleration, to create useful AI systems (and the most radical data center designs on Earth).See the Projects page for more details.
