About

I develop computational and statistical methods to understand how genetic variation shapes human phenotypes and disease.

I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Broad Institute, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and Harvard Medical School, mentored by Luke O'Connor and Alkes Price. I received my PhD in Bioinformatics from UCLA, advised by Bogdan Pasaniuc. Before that, I studied Computer Science at Zhejiang University.

My research uses population-scale genetic, proteomic, and functional genomic data to identify causal genes, biological mechanisms, and therapeutic opportunities. My work spans three directions; see Publications for details.
