A Sr. Bioinformatics Scientist at Cognizant.
Completed PhD from the University of Georgia. Visit the labs that I was part of at UGA:
Kannan lab Edison lab
Trained at the crossroads between biological research and computational data science, I have reveled in working with muti-omic big data. Bridging the gap between genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics and augmenting scientific research with creative data visualizations has been at the core of my training. Building on these strengths, I welcome any team-based problem solving opportunities.
I’ve always enjoyed traveling and if you bear with me to the end of my personal page, I might have a treat waiting.
Preparing for the next challenge.
The enzymatic templates of carbohydrate biosynthesis share a common core.

Institute of Bioinformatics, University of Georgia
Learning the ins and outs of multi-omics data analysis with two dynamic co-advisors to learn from.
Northern Illinois University
Gained experience in Genome sequence mining, Database assembly and Phyologenetics through research and coursework.
Kathmandu University
This is where I discovered my interest in combining life and data sciences. Bioinformatics offered a perfect blend of statistics, computer science and biology.
Cognizant Technology Solutions
Part of a dynamic Agile team that caters to clients in large pharma and food industries to develop cloud-based applications for bioinformatics, drug discovery and life sciences research projects in chemoinformatics, microbiome studies and genomics.
Institute of Bioinformatics, University of Georgia
At the Evolutionary Systems Biology (Kannan) lab and the Small Molecules in Biology (Edison) lab. Conducted independent research and as part of collaboratory teams. Applied computational problem solving skills to initiate novel research projects and compiled scientific reports for articles and grant fundings. Earned valuable skills as a GTP fellow.
