Bridging Theoretical Computer Science, Molecular Programming, Analog Computation, Theoretical AI, Optimization, and AI-Driven Discovery.

I am a PhD Candidate in Computer Science at Iowa State University working at the intersection of theoretical computer science, molecular programming, unconventional computing, machine learning, and scientific discovery. My research explores how computation emerges across discrete, continuous, biological, and physical systems—from chemical reaction networks and analog models of computation to AI-driven optimization and data-driven science.

I enjoy building bridges between theory and practice, using mathematical foundations to understand computation while developing computational tools that address challenges in science, engineering, and emerging technologies.
