What I'm looking for

I'm looking for remote employee or B2B contract roles in bioinformatics, computational biology, biomedical signal processing, or image analysis, with overlap across European hours and partial US East Coast mornings.

I benchmarked explainable-AI methods for DeepCas9 and DeepCRISTL models across 11 datasets and 26,861 CRISPR guides during my Erasmus Mundus MSc thesis at the University of Patras. My work showed where explanation methods agree, where they differ, and how explanation stability relates to model accuracy.

At the G. Eliava Institute, I helped annotate eight phage genomes and built Python tools to automate gene-call conversion, BLAST searches, PHROGs and HHpred hit mapping, and EMBL export. I also characterised phages active against Raoultella strains and prepared samples for sequencing.

I've also decoded sensory conditions from 64-channel EEG, segmented brain tumours with a U-Net, and built a markerless gait-analysis app using OpenCV and MediaPipe. I'm open to remote bioinformatics, computational biology, biomedical signal-processing, and image-analysis work.
