About Me

I am a postdoctoral researcher working with Dr. Duncan Palmer, continuing work from my DPhil involving the study of individuals with genetically-unexpected phenotypes in the UK Biobank. I was a DPhil student in the Genomic Medicine and Statistics programme run by the Wellcome Centre for Human Genetics, with my thesis co-supervised by Prof. Cecilia Lindgren and Prof. Simon Myers. Prior to Oxford, I graduated from Brown University with a degree in applied mathematics and worked for two years in the Neale Lab at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard.
