About

Just another computational bio enthusiast living at 44.225° N, 76.495° W. 🔵🟡🔴👑 Inclined towards systems biology, single-cell bioinformatics and mathematical approaches to life sciences.  

GITC focuses on life sciences, music, literature and other topics. My bioinformatics work is mainly hosted on Github. 

The blog is updated during academic breaks when I have time for my own projects. 

GITC was born in PATH 425, Fall 2025. My deepest gratitude to the teaching team of PATH 425 at Queen's University for inspiring and encouraging me, and the class of PATH 425 for putting up with my presentations. 

I like to play JS Bach Partitas in a manner that might offend the delicate sensibilities of British music examiners. Prior to arriving at 43.680° N, 79.630° W by random chance like Leif Erikson in 1000 CE, I was a classical pianist and piano teacher. Unlike Leif Erikson, I settled in Vinland and never left. Currently working on William Bolcom's noisier jazz pieces. 

The books that made an impression on me are many, but a few come to mind : Ubik by Philip K Dick, The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K Leguin, Story of your Life by Ted Chiang, and Noces by Camus. 

Everything that I do, I dedicate to my father (1952-2010).
