About


I am a third-year PhD candidate studying chemical biology and molecular evolution in San Diego, CA. I got my BS in biochemistry and minor in computer science at Indiana University in Bloomington, IN. My current research involves developing chemical technologies for making cells glow, cancer slow, reactions go, and evolution directed.

Around the web, you can find me as Junnibug. I am a tech geek and an active member of the SD tech scene. I gave talks at BarcampSD and Ignite SD.

My hobbies include web design (which I’ve done for over 8 years), graphic design, photography, singing, and songwriting.
