PhD Data Scientist | Biostatistics, Epidemiology & Public Health Analysis

Profile Summary

I hold a PhD in Biomedical Sciences with a concentration in Systems and Computational Biology. My research experience spans microbiome biomarker discovery, infectious disease modeling, and public health data analysis. I’ve worked with large clinical and surveillance datasets to study microbial ecology, SARS-CoV-2 variant dynamics, and the impact of health policy interventions on population outcomes. I specialize in statistical modeling, time-series analysis, and real-world data using Python, R, and SQL. My work has supported epidemiological publications, program evaluations, and interdisciplinary collaborations with clinicians and public health researchers. I’m also experienced in agent-based modeling, machine learning, and visualizing complex results for scientific communication.
