Bio
I’m a PhD Student at the Centre for Microbiome Research in Brisbane, Australia. I have an enormous passion for biology and informatics, which allows me to create a perfect balance and explore the maximum of my capabilities, while doing two things I have an tremendous interest in. Trying to keep on learning and improving is one of my personal mottoes, in the endless journey of creating a wiser and better version of myself.
On this site I keep my CV and a blog. If you want to check out my work, you can take a look at my GitHub profile.
Research Interests
- Systems Biology: metabolic engineering, community modelling, computational dynamics of complex systems and simulating interactions
- Microbiology: how small life forms can produce outcomes with higher orders of impact in ecosystems, with special focus in human health
- Metabolomics: linking genotype, phenotype and metabolic activity to overall function in small and large-scale biological systems
- Machine-Learning: data-driven predictions for behaviour, role categorization and designing models with applications in medicine
