About me

I am a graduate student in Department of Biomedical Engineering at Duke University. I have been at Duke since May 2005 after I received my Master degree from Singapore-MIT Alliance at National University of Singapore.

I am interested in applying high performance computation to model and optimize synthetic biological systems. Furthermore, I also conduct experiments to reinforce the theoretical approaches. Specifically, my research focuses on the following areas:

  • Temporal and spatial stochasticity in microbial community
  • Reverse engineering of biological systems.
  • Temporal information encoding in signaling pathways
  • Multiscale models accounting for interplay between gene circuits and cell physiology
  • Development of unified framework for the design of synthetic biological systems
