Director - Data Science & Software Development

Oxford Biomedica

I’m a Director at Oxford Biomedica focusing on digital transformation for biological and experimental data. I lead all software development activities and data science efforts across the company, driving innovation and delivering impactful solutions. Before this, I worked as a Senior Researcher in the Health Intelligence Group at Microsoft Research where I developed frameworks to help build and understand gene networks in Synthetic Biology.

I received my PhD in Computer Engineering from Boston University in 2019. I was part of the Cross-Disciplinary Integration of Design Automation Research ( CIDAR) Lab and worked under Prof. Douglas Densmore (PhD). My PhD Dissertation - “Functional Synthesis of Genetic Systems” focussed on developing computational and mathematical frameworks for the synthesis and design of genetic circuits.

I also recieved an MS degree in Computer Engineering from Boston University, Boston, MA, USA in 2014, and a BE (Hons.) degree in Electrical and Electronics engineering from the Birla Institute of Technology and Science in 2012.
