Profile Summary

I have a PhD in Plant Biology from UC Davis and BS in Biochemistry from Worcester Polytechnic Institute. I like to describe myself as a "Modern Renaissance Man" because, while I have formal degrees, I also love learning about new ideas. During my doctoral studies I learned and became competent in Python and R coding languages. After I graduated, I became interested in the digital and social media marketing industry, and even earned certifications from DigitalMarketer (visit https://www.linkedin.com/in/brad-kaufman-phd/ under "Licenses & Certifications" for details). Currently, I am learning and building experience through freelance projects. In my free time, I am working on learning more about machine learning and artificial intelligence. I have worked as: - a researcher growing plant callus and suspension cultures for a biotechnology startup - an undergraduate researcher studying a copper transport protein - a graduate researcher studying the effects of hybridization in plants - a teaching assistant teaching introductory biology to undergraduates - a data validation analyst for a waste management startup My interests include plants/botany, genetics, biotechnology, coding, data analysis, and marketing.
