brief CV

Here are some of the places I’ve done science. View my full CV here.

Rockefeller University (2026 - Present)

Postdoc in the Flamholz Lab of Environmental Microbiology, studying the diverse interactions between microbes and their environment.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2020 - 2025)

Ph.D., Biology

I did my dissertation research in the Shoulders lab, where I developed and applied directed evolution technologies to improve biological carbon fixation.

Massachusetts General Hospital (2018-2020)

Research technician in the Chao Lab, for the Department of Molecular Biology.

I developed a fermentation system in Pichia pastoris to express poorly-behaved mitochondrial membrane proteins and used single particle cryo-electron microscopy to characterize them.

Wesleyan University (2014-2018)

B.A., High Honors in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry

I completed my senior thesis in the Mukerji Lab. I studied the biophysical characteristics of DNA secondary structures using spectroscopic techniques, and found an unexpected point of thermodynamic stability in the center of the DNA Four-Way Junction.
