I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of British Columbia, and associate member of the Departments of Computer Science and Zoology.

My research group combines mathematical, computational and statistical tools to study fundamental biological processes (for more details, see my publications). We are currently mostly  focusing on studying the properties of the ribosome across scales and system (NSERC Discovery grant RGPIN-2020-05348), and developing new algorithms for  Cryo-EM data (New Frontiers of Research NFRFE-2019-00486)
