I was trained as a mathematician and theoretical physicist at Imperial College and Cambridge University. As a graduate student I worked on the swimming of sperm at the Max-Planck-Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems.

Before coming to Toronto I was a Research Fellow in the Department of Systems Biology at Harvard Medical School.

I now have the world's best commute.

I am a UofT undergrad currently in the Physics Specialist and Math Major program. I currently work on analyzing the experimental feasibility of different antithetic integral feedback control implementations using computational tools in theoretical physics. When not working on the project (and not on the assignments for various courses), I like to cozy up with a sci-fi/fantasy book or play a sport such as badminton and ultimate frisbee.

Graduate Student, Physics, UofT

I am from Beijing and completed my undergraduate at Nanjing University. I am currently working on the statistical properties of cyclo-stationary models. I am interested in using quantitative tools to regulate and engineer living systems. Out of working hours, I enjoy literature and music, especially polyphony on the keyboard. 

Former UofT undergrad in Biological Physics/Mathematics and medical imaging research assistant at Sunnybrook Research Institute. Now, in my PhD thesis I use analytical and computational tools from theoretical physics and applied mathematics to predict fundamental performance limits in biochemical regulatory networks. In collaboration with experimentalists, I aim to demonstrate these limitations in living cells and establish novel design principles for biological circuit design. When I'm not doing physics, I'm often writing or performing music. 

I am from Fredericton, New Brunswick where I completed my undergraduate with a BA in Philosophy and a BSc in Biology-Physics with a minor in Mathematics. I am now a PhD student at the University of Toronto in the Hilfinger group where I am interested in developing multi-scale models of biological signal transduction pathways using stochastic fluctuations, leveraging our knowledge of modeling in physics in a biologically useful way. I am also interested in Physics Education Research, and the philosophy of Physics. When not doing Physics, you can find me reading German idealist philosophy or trying out a new sport which I am not very good at (currently badminton).
