Postdoctoral Researcher at UPSC -- Umea Plant Science Centre, Umea University, Sweden.
Two PhDs: one in Mathematics (graph theory, metric dimension, symmetry breaking in networks) and one in Computer Science (information security, machine learning for electronic voting). Now applying ML to plant genomics -- investigating long non-coding RNAs in Arabidopsis thaliana and building AI-powered knowledge graphs for biological discovery.
