I'm a postdoctoral associate from Prof. Manolis Kellis research group at Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Please check out my most up-to-date homepage.

I completed my PhD in Computational Biology at University of Toronto (2014). I received a B.Sc. from the University of Saskatchewan with Honours in Bioinformatics and Minors in Statistics in 2010 and a M.Sc. from UofT in 2012.

I was born in Tianjin, China and came to North America in 2005. During 2005-6, I lived in Richmond, BC to study English in Kwantlen University College and worked in A-plus rent-a-car company for a year or so.
