Profile Summary

Hello. I have a Ph.D. in life science with bacterial genomics and comparative genomics in plant-microbe interactions. I have many years of experience in bioinformatics research, including microbiome analysis. My work has been recognized in the academic community through my contribution to 13 published research articles, with more in the pipeline. I have honed my skills in various bioinformatics analyses, including transcriptome, whole genome, microbiome, and bacterial genome analysis. I also understand how to use bioinformatics with R and Python programming languages. As a freelancer in bioinformatics, I specialize in analyzing data based on bacterial genomes and phylogenetic analyses of different organisms. I am also proficient in analyzing basic statistical data using various bioinformatics tools. Furthermore, I am committed to continuous learning and am currently expanding my knowledge in the fields of Machine Learning and AI. If your requirements are different, I am more than willing to explore new areas. Thank you.
