Profile

Hi, I'm Aaron.

I'm a biomedical informatics researcher currently based out of Stanford.

About Me

In Fall 2020, I moved to Palo Alto, California to complete my Masters in biomedical informatics at Stanford University!

I'm a McGill Neuroscience student (class of '20) with a minor in Computer Science. I've worked in several labs and contributed to a wide array of projects such as modelling genomic data in virtual reality, exploring the role of place cells in contextual fear discrimination, and using machine learning to predict the spread of Dengue fever in Puerto Rico..

Some of my other interests include basketball (playing, watching, and winning fantasy leagues), reviewing wine and cheeses, browsing meme pages, hiking and binging reality TV.
