Intro

I completed my PhD at New York University and New York Genome Center advised by Rahul Satija. I am currently the lead developer of Seurat, a widely used toolkit for single-cell genomics data analysis (>1.5M downloads, June 2023). My doctoral research primarily is to to develop computational algorithms to learn the representation of single-cell data. This contained four primary analytical challenges:
