Postdoctoral researcher 

During my time at Swarthmore, I became fascinated by the field of algebraic topology. I was particularly curious about how one might use topology to tackle problems in data science. I am now a postdoctoral researcher working in applied topology. I develop novel topological tools for analyzing data. I work on problems from various fields of biology, including neuroscience, cancer biology, and genomics.
