about me

hi, i'm daphne

I recently completed my Bachelor's and Accelerated Master's degree in Computational Biology at Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science with a minor in IDeATe: Design for Learning .

I worked as a graduate researcher in the Ma Lab for my thesis where I focused on developing a graph-based autoencoder for integrating spatial transcriptomics data. I previously worked as a research intern in the Scheet Lab at MD Anderson Cancer Center, studying fragmentomics as a biomarker for early cancer detection. I developed a hybrid physics-based machine learning pipeline for protein-protein interaction residue predictions for Zymo. At school, I worked as a lead teaching assistant for 15-112 Fundamentals of Programming and Computer Science and I previously served as the Student Government Director of Organizations. I also worked as a web designer for Programming For Lovers.

In my free time, I like to go urban sketching and draw, make things with clay, make coffee, and go on runs.
