Hello!

A Bit About Me

I specialize in transforming high-throughput omics data into actionable insights and developing NLP tools to enhance biomedical information retrieval. My work leverages innovative techniques like prompt engineering and knowledge graphs to guide LLMs in generating precise responses for complex biomedical QA tasks. Recently, I developed an AI search engine that significantly enhances LLM-generated outputs by integrating explicit signals from user queries. My past projects include open-source software for peptide identification from MALDI–IMS data, proteomics data visualization, Snakemake pipelines that drastically reduced data processing time, and R packages widely adopted across labs. While my primary focus has been on biomedical research, I am a versatile problem- solver with strong communication skills, eager to apply my expertise across various domains. I am driven by a passion for advancing research and fostering cross-disciplinary innovation in STEM fields.
