-I am a quantitative biologist/data scientist interested in using image data to quantify biology. I currently work at [Reveal Biosciences](https://www.revealbio.com/), where I develop machine-learning based pipelines to automate digital pathology. 
+I'm a quantitative biologist/data scientist currently advancing machine-learning pipelines for digital pathology automation at [Reveal Biosciences](https://www.revealbio.com/). I'm generally interested in applying machine learning to biological problems, and I'm particularly interested in the intersection of machine learning and microscopy. I'm also interested in the intersection of machine learning and pottery, but that's a different story.

-I got my PhD from the [Süel Lab](http://labs.biology.ucsd.edu/suel/) at UC San Diego, studying how microbes use electricity to return from total dormancy. I also worked with [Dr. Yuichi Wakamoto](http://park.itc.u-tokyo.ac.jp/wakamoto-lab/index_e.html) at the University of Tokyo, Dr. Hiroaki Kitano at the [Systems Biology Institute](http://sbi.jp/aboutSBI.htm), and  [Dr. Tatsuo Nunoshiba](https://researchers.icu.ac.jp/icuhp/KgApp?kyoinId=ymkmgiyeggy&Language=2) at the International Christian University.
