I'm Aidan, and I'm currently a PhD candidate in Biomedical Informatics at the University of Pittsburgh.
I'm planning to graduate in Summer 2025, after which I'll join Meta as a Research Scientist. My current projects include working on clustering massive graphs/networks and helping maintain the Biostrings R package. I occasionally write blog posts about the things I've been up to lately, which you can check out below!
