Biosketch
I am a Genetics Ph.D. student at Clemson in Dr. Lela Lackey’s lab. I graduated in May 2023 with my B.S. in BioEngineering from the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD). During my time at UMD, I was a Bioengineering Departmental Honors researcher in Dr. Jeffery Klauda’s Laboratory of Molecular and Thermodynamic Modeling, an Undergraduate Teaching Fellow for Synthetic Biology, and an intern at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory.
Research Interests
My dissertation research broadly focuses on applying data driven and machine learning approaches to identify transcriptomic signatures associated with human adaptation to spaceflight.
