I have been a Ph.D. student in the Complexity Science Group since January 2007.

I am an Alexander Graham Bell Canada Graduate Scholar (NSERC CGS D3) and an iCORE Graduate Scholar.

My research interests include statistical physics, information theory, complex networks, and modeling of biological systems and data.
