About Me

I have received the BS in Biology and Computer Science from Loyola College in Maryland and the PhD in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology from Iowa State University under the direction of Drs. Aluru and Schnable. Upon graduation, I received a ISU Research Excellence award and the university-wide Zaffrano Prize for Graduate Research. In August 2007, I joined the faculty of the University of Notre Dame. My research interests include computational biology, bioinformatics and parallel computing. Currently, my group is focusing on arthropod and malaria genome analysis with applications to global health and ecology. This is collaborative work with multiple faculty members in the Department of Biological Sciences at Notre Dame.
