Computational Biophysicist | Python & Julia for Simulation and Experimental Image Analysis

Profile Summary

I am a postdoctoral researcher in biophysics with a solid academic foundation, holding a Master’s degree in Physics and a PhD focused on computational biophysics. My expertise lies in applying advanced computational methods, including numerical modeling and data analysis, to solve complex problems in biological physics. My core skills include: Scientific programming with Python and Julia, specializing in simulation, image analysis, and data visualization. Computational modeling of biophysical systems, including developing and implementing algorithms to study dynamic behaviors. Image processing and analysis using software tools such as Inkscape for scientific figure creation and visualization. Data-driven research integrating experimental data with computational models to gain new insights. In my ongoing research projects, I focus on: Modeling the dynamics of biological systems to understand their physical and biochemical properties. Developing computational workflows for analyzing large imaging datasets to extract meaningful biological information. Collaborating with experimentalists to validate models and support interdisciplinary research. I have experience writing scientific publications, preparing high-quality figures and presentations, and supporting manuscript editing and review. My background equips me to assist clients with projects involving data analysis, scientific programming, image processing, and technical writing.
