PhD, Bioinformatician & Data Analyst | Life Sciences Research to Data-Driven Insights

Profile Summary

I am a highly motivated bioinformatician and data scientist with a robust background in life sciences research. My doctoral studies in DNA Origami and Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy have equipped me with a deep understanding of biological systems, experimental design, and data analysis. My passion for bridging the gap between research and computation led me to pursue advanced training in data analytics, machine learning, and bioinformatics tools. I have a proven track record of success in applying computational approaches to answer complex biological questions. My projects range from generating protein sequences with LSTM models to developing a song recommender system and forecasting game outcomes using machine learning. My expertise includes: - Bioinformatics: Sequence analysis, biological data interpretation, tool development - Data Analysis: Data cleaning, statistical analysis, visualization (Python, Pandas, Tableau) - Machine Learning: Model development, feature engineering, algorithm selection My background in virology research, including contributing to antiviral drug development projects, underscores my dedication to translational science. I am a collaborative and adaptable problem-solver, eager to leverage my skills to support your research projects and drive data-driven insights within the life sciences.
