I
enjoy exploring, and think that two particularly significant areas of
human exploration are outer space and the human genome. I spent some
time thinking about spacecraft engineering issues, including power
sources and life-support systems. I have also done work on evolutionary graph theory, the evolution of language, and computation in evolving systems. I am
presently focused on the study of the human genome. My present work is
on the development of genomic methods of exploring the human immune
system.
Officially, I am a PhD student in Applied Mathematics at
Harvard, and also a student of Genomics, Bioastronautics, and Medical
Engineering and Medical Physics at Harvard/MIT's Division of Health
Science and technology. I am fortunate to be supported by graduate fellowships
from the Fannie and John Hertz Foundation, the National Science
Foundation, the Department of Defense/NDSEG, and the National Institutes of
Health.
Unofficially, graduate school has been a happy and wonderful period of learning and exploration.
