Bio

I’m a final year PhD student at the MRC Biostatistics Unit in the University of Cambridge (2021-2025). I’m currently a visitor at EMBL-EBI in the Petsalaki group. Prior to this, I did an MEng in Information Engineering (2016-2020) at the University of Cambridge, where I focused on machine learning and computational biology. I worked at Cambridge Cancer Genomics as an intern during my MEng and afterwards until its acquisition by Dante Labs. Following this, I worked at Vivan Therapeutics as a data scientist before starting my PhD in October 2021.

My PhD supervisors are Oscar M. Rueda and Sach Mukherjee.
