Hello, I’m Will.
Student & research assistant at UCSD

Based in San Diego, CA, I am a Bioinformatics student at UC San Diego and a Wilderness Guide with Outback Adventures. I thrive at the intersection of science and technology, using machine learning to design proteins and solve biological challenges. Outside the lab, I guide kayaking, hiking, and backpacking trips, sharing my love for the outdoors and building confidence in others.
With experience in computational biology, programming, and hands-on lab techniques, I enjoy tackling complex problems and exploring new possibilities, whether in research or on the trail.

Who am I?

I’m a curious and driven individual who combines a love of science with a passion for adventure. My work in bioinformatics has included designing proteins with tools like RFdiffusion and AlphaFold2, and I have hands-on expertise in protein purification and crystallography. I enjoy the computational side of biology, especially finding innovative solutions through technology.

In my free time, I’m an avid rock climber and mountain biker, always looking for the next challenge. Whether in the lab or the outdoors, I value exploration, teamwork, and continuous learning.
