Interests

I am currently a third year Bioinformatics student at UCSD. I am a member of the Pevzner's Lab. My main area of reasearch is on the computational aspect of protein mass spectrometry. Particularly, I am interested in algorithms for identification of fusion and cyclic peptides.

Current Projects

I am implementing a modified version of InsPect that can identify fusion peptides
I am also working with Nuno Bandeira on algorithms to identify cyclic peptide mass spectra.

Software

MS-CPA: A program to annotate cyclic peptides.

Working Experience

I worked for Apple Inc. as an intern during the Summer 2005 and Summer 2006. I was part of the Architecture and Performance Group (APG).
