Summary:
My interest is the link between data and science, I am a data scientist. Currently I'm interested in biological questions that can be answered with the analysis of genomic data.
I gained an engineering degree in Computer Sciences from University Nur back in my home country. I worked at the NGO FAN (Fundacion Amigos de la Naturaleza) for 2 years in the IT and Web Dept. Then I moved to Sweden in 2009 to study Bioinformatics, where I got involved in 2 projects with different biological backgrounds that helped me to put hands on into the bioinformatics world. I feel bioinformatics is having a great impact in science and I am glad to be part of it. At the moment I am a PhD candidate at the applied bioinformatics group under the supervision of Prof. David Edwards, Prof. Jacqueline Batley and Prof. Kaye Basford. The group is part of the Australian Centre for Plant Functional Genomics (ACPFG Brisbane node) and we have industry collaborators for most of our projects. My focus is on studying the genomic diversity of the species Brassica juncea. I work with next generation sequencing data for SNP discovery, skim genotyping by sequencing, gene loss, and the sorting of the assembly of the B. nigra genome.
My preferred tools are R and python, and a long list of bioinformatics software tools.
I am also user of HPC nodes in Australia: NCI, Barrine, Pawsey and private servers.
Additionally I'm a volunteer to teach software basic concepts to scientist. Software carpentry is a growing community, here is the team
