Biography

As a Post Doctoral Researcher at the National University of Ireland, Galway, I focus on enhancing our web portal for cancer data from liquid biopsies, utilizing machine learning and data management techniques. I hold a PhD in Bioinformatics and an MSc in Computer Software Engineering, bringing over 6 years of experience in data science and software engineering. My mission is to leverage data to drive progress in the fields of cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. I collaborate with colleagues and other professionals in the field and am always eager to explore new possibilities and challenges.
