I was visiting at the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Sydney.I worked with of NMR and fluorescence data, extracting insight from image data as well as time series, developing new analysis methods to better understand the aggregation of proteins.In addition, I have consulted on the setup and configuration of a new GPU cluster for 3D structure reconstruction by Cryo Electron Microscopy.

I was a post-doctoral fellow at Imperial College, where I develop Deep Learning models for 3D biophysical data. My research sits at the interface between experimental and theoretical modelling, developing new platforms to understand the complex nature of protein dynamics.During my professional years at Imperial College I have:- Designed and built end-to-end machine learning models and algorithms applied to protein biophysics, published and distributed as Python packages.- Led the computational efforts of our research team, by building and administering a 24-GPU cluster used for scientific computation by a large team of researchers. - Published 10+ articles in peer-reviewed journals, developing new algorithms for the interpretation of biophysical data, as well as applying state-of-the-art computational methods to better understand the formation of deadly diseases. I have presented my work at several international conferences.- Supervised the work of BSc, Masters and PhD students, ensuring the completion of successful and rewarding projects.

I developed new methods for incorporating NMR data into molecular simulations of membrane protein dynamics.My research combined machine learning and theoretical modelling with experimental results from Nuclear Magnetic Resonance in order to accurately describe the dynamics of proteins in three dimensions.The project was funded by the Engineering and Physics UK research council (EPSRC).

I delivered Mathematics & Physics tutorials to classes of up to 20 students of BSc Biochemistry (2nd year). Demonstrated in Biochemistry laboratory practicals (protein folding and protein purification & NMR).

I provided IB students with help in Chemistry and Biology at standard and higher level. Over several years I have delivered over 100 hours of tuition.

I worked in the Biochemistry department as part of the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Programme (UROP). The project focused on obtaining structural information about the binding of specific Nav1.7 blockers to their target using molecular biology techniques.

Worked in data analysis in the Molecular Cell Biology lab: quantification of retinal vasculature. Work acknowledged in ‘Blood, 2012 Aug 16; 120(7): 1516-27’.
