Utrecht, Netherlands

I work at Nextgem, a data science consultancy that helps organizations to get the most out of their data. - Developing AI-based tool for financial economic crime (FEC) detection- Implemented marketing strategy for newly started company Fectfinder for FECprevention

Contributed to IFAD's first Biodiversity Strategy.

Montreal, Canada Area

I work at Plotly, a company that creates & stewards the leading data viz & UI tools for ML, data science, engineering, and the sciences.Here, I am building open-source web analytic applications for big data (including multi-omics data) using Plotly's Dash for R and Dash Bio Framework. Have a look at the link look below and see what's possible with Dash.

Kochi, Kochi, Japan

I am a visiting Postdoctoral Fellow at the Kochi Core Center (KCC), a research facility jointly managed with common goals by the Kochi University and Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology. - Developed a new and rapid screening technique for the detection of microbial genes that play a role in the adaptation to stressful environmental conditions- Analyzed and visualized NGS data

Montreal, Canada Area

I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at The Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS), one of Canada's top universities in terms of research intensity. I use microbial approaches to improve wheat resilience to drought stress through a combination of omic tools, analytical techniques, and computational approaches.- Led field and lab studies on crop-associated microbial responses to environmental stressors - Conducted bioinformatics and statistical analysis of omics data - Developed computational method for absolute quantification of microbial taxon abundances in metagenomic data- Presented scientific findings to a number of scientific and general audiences (for an example of a presentation with interactive visualizations see link below)

I am a consultant for The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), a non-profit organization that acts as a global authority on the status of the natural world and the measures needed to safeguard it.I performed data analysis and report writing for IUCN’s Common ground report that shows how soil and landscape biodiversity can benefit society and help overcome major challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss, and food and water insecurity.

Wageningen, The Netherlands

I am a PhD Candidate between The Netherlands Institute of Ecology and Wageningen University, one of the leading international universities in the field of healthy food and living environment.I studied the underlying mechanisms of volatile communication between microorganisms in soil in the context of plant health. - Applied a range of omic techniques (genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics), molecular biology techniques (cloning, RT-PCR), and microbiological techniques- Developed novel method for detection and analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) using analytical (GC-MS-qTOF) and computational approaches- Performed bioinformatics analyses of omic data using Linux/Galaxy/CLI applications, and data analyses/statistics using R/SPSS- Collaborated with international research institutes and universities in Germany (Max-Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology, Jena & Center for Functional Genomics of Microbes, Greifswald), US (Institute for Genome Sciences, Baltimore) & Sweden (Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences) on genomics and proteomics projects- Check out my thesis in the link below and a press release of my defense
