Brief Biographical Sketch:

I'm a second year graduate student at Stanford in the Applied Physics department. I'm a member of the Spudich lab, where we study myosin, a molecular motor that produces all kinds of important motion in your body and cells, including allowing your muscles to contract, helping your cells divide, and transporting cargo within the cell. In my spare time, I like to play piano, cook, and blog about cooking.
