Hi, and welcome to my webpage. I’m a first year PhD student in Language Technologies Institute, and I’m working with my advisor, Prof. Christopher James Langmead, on Graphical Models applied to protein structure modeling. We’re currently working on Estimation and Inference for continuous multivariate models of backbone torsion angles, including multivariate Gaussian model and von-Mises model.

 

Prior to my PhD, I was a Master student here in LTI, working on Statistical Machine Translation with Stephan Vogel.

 

Research Interests

Graphical Models, Parameter Estimation and Inference on Continuous Multivariate Models, Regularization, Protein/Protein Interaction, Drug Design, Protein Structure Prediction, Structural Biology, Computational Biology.

 

Relevant Courses:

10-725 Optimization

15-879 Algorithms for Computational Structural Biology

10-810 Computational Genomics

11-762 Languages and Statistics II
