I am a fourth-year PhD student in Molecular Biology at Princeton University. My research interests lie at the intersection of chemistry and microbiology. I study quorum sensing and interkingdom signaling in the bacterial pathogen Vibrio cholerae and a V. cholerae-infecting virus. Outside of the lab, I enjoy reading and writing, and playing cards.
