Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States

Member of the Long Reads Methods & Analysis group within the Broad Institute's Data Science Platform. I develop high-performance, biobank-scale, sequence alignment algorithms to analyze human genetic variation pangenome-wide and machine learning algorithms to identify multi-modal quantitative trait loci.

Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States

I'm a member of both Dr. Kiran Garimella's Long Reads Methods & Analysis group and Dr. Ashlee Earl's Bacterial Genomics group, where I'm working on new pangenome-wide variant calling algorithms and tools for microbial species. These tools will help us:- Track mobile genetic elements, often containing antimicrobial restistance genes, to better understand.

Greater Boston Area

I'm a member of Dr. Ashlee Earl's bacterial genomics lab in the Infectious diseases and microbiome program at the Broad Institute, where I'm working on developing new software and computational approaches to characterize and track strains in complex microbial communities. This work also contributes to my PhD thesis which I pursue at Delft University of.

Delft Area, Netherlands

Literature review and initial data analysis on modelling proteome allocation of the Bacillus subtilis under different growth conditions, to help resolve a protein production problem at larger scale.

Rotterdam Area, Netherlands

Responsible for developing several tools and applications to aid in the analysis and modelling of traffic engineering problems, which helped winning several tenders for the Dutch government.

As a Google Summer of Code student I've worked on the Vispy Project (a scientific visualisation library), adding initial support for visualising graphs.

Software engineering internship, responsible for building a ray collision detector and a 3d model reflection behaviour tester with GPU acceleration using the nVidia OptiX library. These tools help analyse how well a ship can be detected by a radar.
