A bit about me

I want to become a scientist (whatever that means today). Broadly I am interested in how life works on the molecular to cellular level: how the random jigglings of molecules allow living things to rather remarkable things. I majored in physics but have always tried to read broadly since think the fields of science ought to be treated as a whole. In undergrad I had the chance to do some research in the Boxer lab about the photochemistry of fluorescent proteins. When I entered graduate school in 2020, I had a long, meandering path through various topics in biophysics before settling on designing new proteins in the exciting new lab of Nick Polizzi at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute.
