Profile Summary

I am a Ph.D. researcher specializing in computational biology, molecular docking, and machine learning applications in bioinformatics. My expertise spans molecular dynamics simulations, structure-based drug design, and bacterial genome annotation. I have experience working with various bioinformatics tools, including AutoDock, GROMACS, Prokka, and PaDEL, for computational drug discovery and genomics research. My research focuses on zinc metalloproteins, where I employ molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to understand ligand interactions. I have also worked on QSAR modeling, where I generated and analyzed 1D, 2D, and 3D molecular descriptors and fingerprints. Additionally, I have expertise in statistical analysis and machine learning techniques, including ROC curve generation using J48, LMT, and RandomForest classifiers. Beyond research, I have contributed to manuscript writing and data visualization, ensuring clear and impactful scientific communication. My proficiency in Python, R, and Linux-based tools, including WSL2, enables me to handle large-scale data analysis efficiently. I am keen on exploring opportunities in computational biology, bioinformatics, and data-driven drug discovery. With a strong foundation in research, technical expertise, and problem-solving skills, I am confident in delivering high-quality work in both academic and industry settings.
