I am a PhD student embedded at Dan Buchanan’s Colorectal Oncogenomics Group. The focus of my PhD research is the application of tumour mutational signatures to understanding and detecting the underlying aetiology driving different sub-types of colorectal cancer.
I am also involved with a number of applied research projects continuing from my previous role at Melbourne Bioinformatics. These include:
I have an ongoing interest in genomics, particularly cancer genomics, statistical methods, and machine learning.
My background prior to bioinformatics is software engineering. I ran a software consulting company that developed a variety of mobile and web apps. See Supernifty for further details.
