Sifnos, Greece (1961) | Henri Cartier-Bresson

Howdy, 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 infrastructure (atomic models, CryoET), ML applications to cryoEM, shape analysis. I built and maintain ribosome.xyz.

Outside of academia, I’ve had a few backend roles. I enjoy running, hiking, canoeing, music, history, economics. 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. I live in Vienna now.
