Currently a PhD student in Evolutionary Genomics, trainer and teaching assistant at the University of Lausanne and Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics.
I enjoy understanding and benchmarking methods for large-scale genomic data, learning new approaches, implementing solutions for biological questions.
My current research focuses on the analysis of a basal chordata species, providing (1) a better genome assembly and annotation and (2) an overview of the in-paralogs composition and synteny with sister vertebrate lineages.
My passion about exchanging knowledge with fellow researchers translates into science outreach in form of (1) student-friendly workshop, (2) active participation online via forums and the Stack Exchange Network, (3) wikipedia integration. As life science trainer, I also organize, lead and teach institutional course and workshops.
Skills/Topics I Teach
Introduction to Bioinformatics (Python, GUI tools)
Bioinformatics for Genomics (R)
Introduction to Programming (Python)
Bioinformatics of Long Read Sequencing (Unix, CLI tools)
Genome assembling with long reads applied to Eukaryotes (Unix, CLI tools)
