Mass Spectrometry & Lipidomics Expert | LC-MS, Python Data Pipelines & Statistical Modeling | PhD Biochemistry

Profile Summary

I'm a Biochemistry PhD candidate (defending July 2026) with 3+ years of hands-on experience running and maintaining an Agilent 6560 DTIMS-QTOF mass spectrometer, and I help clients with mass spectrometry method development, lipidomics and proteomics data analysis, and custom Python-based data pipelines for complex scientific datasets. As lead developer of DeuteRater, an open-source kinetic lipidomics/proteomics software suite, I've built statistical pipelines spanning regression-based deconvolution, Monte Carlo simulation, and large-scale dataset QC and processing. I'm comfortable taking messy, real-world instrument data and turning it into clean, reproducible analysis, whether that means building a custom script, troubleshooting an LC-MS method, or applying rigorous statistical modeling to a multi-factor experimental design. I can help with: LC-MS/GC-MS method development, troubleshooting, and data interpretation Lipidomics and proteomics data analysis Python-based data pipeline design (pandas, statistical modeling, Monte Carlo methods) Molecular and cell biology technique consulting (PCR, western blot, co-immunoprecipitation, cell culture) Scientific writing and manuscript support
