Computer scientist, bioinformatician, microbiologist, with deep expertise and vast interdisciplinary experience

Profile Summary

Polar marine microbiologist and computational scientist with a PhD in Oceanography and Astrobiology from the University of Washington, specializing in extremophile bacteria, DNA methylation, and microbial ecology in subzero and sea-ice environments. I combine hands-on laboratory expertise in bacterial culturing, genomics, and multi-omics analysis with advanced bioinformatics skills including machine learning, genome binning, functional annotation, and HPC-based data processing. My interdisciplinary background in computer science, software development, and astrobiology enables me to tackle complex research challenges beyond microbiology through computational approaches. I'm available for any bioinformatics project, or interdisciplinary software engineering needs.
