Research interests:
I am interested in characterizing how our adaptive immune system recognizes pathogens and how the evolution of bacteria and viruses leads to immune evasion. I develop unsupervised learning methods to model immune receptor repertoires and to describe the evolutionary trajectories of evolving pathogens.
