I'm an AI researcher at Arc Institute and NVIDIA, where I work with Hani Goodarzi and Patrick Hsu. I graduated in Computer Science and Neuroscience from the University of Toronto, where I worked with Bo Wang, and I'm an upcoming Computer Science PhD at Stanford with Jure Leskovec.
I lead the BioReason team, where we developed the first reasoning model in biology. With our latest model, BioReason-Pro, we found a new function for a cancer biomarker, work featured in ChatGPT Futures. The team has grown to over 20 researchers and engineers advancing the frontier of AI in biology.
My goal is to build biological superintelligence; models that reason about life from DNA to disease.
On the Meaning of Life
I often contemplate the meaning of life. Currently, I believe life is meaningless if the chain of intelligence breaks at anytime in the future. Conversely, I've found purpose in increasing the breadth and depth of intelligence such that it, in billions of years down the road, it can give rise to new universes and keep the chain going. I'm not sure if, when, or how my perspective might change.
Community
I enjoy building communities. I founded GenAI Genesis, Canada's largest AI hackathon, bringing thousands together to build cool AI projects. I also led the Google Developer Group at my campus.
