Awards & Honors
I joined Prescient Design in 2022 as part of the structure team. I have a B.S. in Biological Sciences from Carnegie Mellon University, a Ph.D. in Theoretical & Computational Chemistry from UCSD, and did my postdoc at UCSF. I bring an extensive biophysics and structural biology background with research experience spanning computational chemistry, crystallography/electron microscopy, biomaterials design, self-assembly, de novo protein design, and wet lab biochemistry. I enjoy thinking about proteins and putting the physics in biophysics!
