Academic Background
My research thesis, "Analysis of RNA Protein Interactions using Deep Learning," investigates how RNA sequence encodes RNA-binding protein (RBP) interactions. I benchmarked pretrained RNA language models and developed sequence-based deep learning models for binary binding prediction, quantitative binding profile prediction, and transcript localization. Read it here (this work is being prepared for publication in renowned journals, so the repository copy is currently locked).
During my Master's, I focused on advanced AI coursework and research in deep learning, optimization, and sequence modeling. I built end-to-end experimental pipelines, evaluated multiple pretrained RNA models, and translated research ideas into reproducible, scalable implementations. I also worked on more fun projects; check them out here.
