 I am a Research Scientist at Iambic Therapeutics, specializing in image analysis and meaningful cell representation learning. Previously, I was at Valence Labs @ Recursion working on interpretable cell painting data analysis. I transitioned to the biotechnology industry joined right after completing my post-doctoral fellowship at The Alan Turing Institute in London, UK, where I worked on spatial patterning in imaging data. I gained my PhD in Computational Biology from Alan Lowe’s lab at UCL, my BSc in Biomedical Science from King’s College London, and internship experience from MIT, Cancer Research UK & Microsoft Research Cambridge. I'm passionate about community initiatives and lead the LMRL organising committee at the ICLR conference series, and I've previously served as a Senior Program Chair at the Women in Machine Learning (WiML) workshop at NeurIPS 2025.
