Biography
I'm an experienced bioinformatician, with current expertise in de novo genome assembly, and workflow development with Nextflow. I have taught workshops and engage in training regularly. I like to focus on practical skills and the importance of scientific reproducibility. I aim to make complex bioinformatic analyses accessible and reliable for researchers.
My undergraduate studies were in Computer Science and Mathematics, at Imperial College London. After which I did a PhD in the field of Phylogeography, assessing a method of phylogeographic inference, at Reading University. My Postdoc, took me to Plön, in the north of Germany, where I performed various genomic analyses (transcriptomics, variant calling, de novo assembly, metagenomics) to understand the basis of lake-river adaption in three-spined sticklebacks as well as host-parasite co-evolution, at the Max Planck Institute of Evolutionary Biology.
