About

Principal scientist at Sanofi, leading the Physical AI team — we’re teaching robots to run wet labs, turning benchwork into code. Previously: spatial transcriptomics and SaMD at Sanofi, RWE/causal inference for rare disease, computational storage at Western Digital, and a postdoc at LANL on the R&D100-winning EDGE Bioinformatics platform. PhD from UH Manoa under Philip M. Johnson.

My academic work spans life sciences and temporal data analysis. On the life-sciences side: contributing to the first transgenic plant genome — papaya (Nature, 2008), and the discovery of methane oxidation by an extremely acidophilic Verrucomicrobia bacterium (Nature, 2007). On the temporal side: SAX-VSM (with Sergey Malinchik at Lockheed Martin ATL) and GrammarViz 3.0 (with US Army ERDC and academic collaborators, during my LANL postdoc). Code lives on GitHub — see saxpy (Python), jmotif-R (R/C++), and the GrammarViz 2.0 release (Java). Full publication list on Google Scholar.
