Hi! I’m a postdoctoral researcher at the Arc Institute, co-advised by Silvana Konermann and Hani Goodarzi.

My research focuses on interpretable machine learning for single-cell genomics, with interests in optimal transport, graph neural networks and attention models. I have developed computational methods for multi-modal imputation and modelling time-series transcriptomics for single-cells.

Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University in the Pritchard Lab. I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Sciences at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and the Waisman Center, advised by Daifeng Wang. During my PhD, I was part of the PsychAD Consortium, developing computational tools to study neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and related dementias (ADRD).

I completed my undergraduate studies in Computer Engineering at Pune University, followed by a master’s in Computer Science at Stony Brook University, where I was advised by Samir Das.
