Computing and Informatics Analyst

I support different science projects in terms of data management, analysis, and visualisations.

I have extensive experience in both research and development and an academic background teaching scientific computing and other mathematics courses.

I am highly motivated and very interested in broadening my knowledge of related areas of science, especially those requiring data analysis and computational solutions.

Contact details:

My research interests are machine learning, scientific computing, time series analysis and recently RNA-seq analysis.
