Hello! I am a PhD candidate at the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Yale University, where I am advised by Brandon Ogbunu. I am interested in understanding the mechanisms and factors that influence the capacity of microbes to adaptively evolve (i.e., their evolvability).

I previously earned my bachelor’s degree in Natural Sciences (Genetics) from the University of Cambridge, where I did undergraduate research with Wei Leong Chew, John Welch, Simon Levin, and Chadi Saad-Roy. In between my undergraduate and graduate studies, I worked as a research assistant in the labs of Swaine Chen and Sebastian Maurer-Stroh at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) in Singapore, where I am originally from. In my free time, I enjoy reading, playing the veena, baking, poorly crafting and a warm cup of tea.
