Hello there! My name is Rosalind :) I’m a graduate student in the lab of Rob Phillips at California Institute of Technology.

I graduated from the University of Chicago in 2022, where I majored in Biological Sciences and Computational and Applied Mathematics. At UChicago, I worked with D. Allan Drummond on the evolutionary analysis of unalignable protein sequences.

I am broadly interested in using quantitative methods to study biological phenomena. In my current research in the Phillips lab, I combine statistical physics and microbiology to examine the mechanisms underlying transcriptional regulation.

When I’m not in the lab, I enjoy painting, making amigurumi, playing guitar, and going to concerts! My favourite band is a rock band from Manchester, England called The 1975. Check out their music <3
