General Information I am interested in studying of chemotactic responses in invasive cancer cells through cell tracking and computational imaging. Before coming to MIT, I did quantitative cellular biology and modeling of signaling pathway, was studying biology and engineering & applied science (emphasizing computation & neural systems), and modeling nucleosome unwrapping. Other than doing stuff in the lab, I like competitive ballroom dancing, rock camping, backcountry camping and kayaking esp. when outside is not too cold. If you're curious, I have my page at MIT that's not too frequently updated.
