I build deep tech at the intersection of biology, engineering and computer science.
I’m currently Chief Technology Officer and co-founder at Dynomics. We’re a startup focused on discovering targeted therapies to reverse heart failure using complex in silico and in vitro systems.
In a past life I studied cosmology and galaxy formation at the Kavli Institute at MIT, leading the Caterpillar Project, and was a contributor to the Illustris Project at the Center for Astrophysics at Harvard University.
I am based between San Francisco, CA and Brisbane, Australia.
