What I do:
I run the Pathogen Informatics and Modelling group at EMBL-EBI. My previous work has attempted to understand the pathogenesis and transmission of infectious diseases. I primarily works on statistical genetics, genomic epidemiology and genome evolution of pathogenic bacteria. I have also worked on infectious disease modelling, GPU algorithms, and visualisation. I write methods and software to scale these analyses and make them more accessible to others in attempts to democratise bioinformatics.
