Hi, I’m a research technician at IMP, Vienna with Sven Klumpe and at UBC, Vancouver with Khanh Dao Duc.
My general interests are in biology, software and mathematics. I have done work in structural biology infrastrucutre (ranging from atomic models to CryoET), ML applications to cryoEM, the heterogeneity problem and shape analysis. I built and maintain ribosome.xyz.
Outside of academia, I’ve had a few backend roles. I enjoy running, canoeing, music, mathematics, history; i planted around 250,000 trees in the north-west of Canada between 2016 and 2018. My favorite books are by Proust, Eco and McCarthy.
