Years at Genentech
I joined Prescient Design as a research scientist in the frontier group in October 2022. Prior to Prescient, I received my Ph.D. from the University of Maryland where I was advised by Soheil Feizi and Héctor Corrada Bravo. During my Ph.D. my research focused on the interpretability of neural models for sequential data.
