CV

Education

• Msc science: Wageningen university and research, 2024.
• Bsc science: HAN University of applied sciences, 2022.

Work experience

• 2024: Msc internship MPI bioinformatics department. Potsdam.
  With supervision from Dirk Walther, I set up a Snakemake pipeline for the prediction of protein-protein complexes.
• 2023: Msc thesis WUR genetics department. Wageningen.
  With supervision from Mariana Silva I am laying the ground work for the aspar_kr data sharing system for researchers in the field of Aspergillus fumigatus. During this thesis I am contributing code to the FAIRDS project, a java programme to generate excel templates and convert them into a linked data format.
• 2022: Bsc Thesis FAU Lehrstuhl für Zellbiologie. Erlangen, Germany. Grade: 8.
  Internship supervised by Dr Peter-Louis Plaumann. Worked on a pipeline to phenotype photosynthetic performance of mutants of Vitis vinifera (grapevine) in a greenhouse setting, in this research I had to use the LICOR 6800 instrument. I have also worked on a sequencing pipeline to detect SNPs by comparing Illumina reads from V. vinifera reads to reference genomes. For this I also had to implement a DNA extraction procedure.
• 2021: Bsc Internship Wur ecology and nature management. Wageningen. Grade 8.
  Internship supervised by Eline Ampt Msc. I have worked with Eline on determining the ecological role of pathogenic fungi in a grassland ecosystem. For this I had to create and use PCR tests, fungal culture, field work for sample collection and statistical analysis such as mixed models and PCA.

Skills

Interpersonal

Coaching

I am able to help my colleagues with understanding statistical analysis methods and programming languages and help with solving computer issues. Examples: helping a colleague set up git version management, or helping to solve a python error.

Translational

Because of my laboratory background and bioinformatics experience, I am able to translate well between bench work and computational work.

Presentation

I am able to use professional typesetting and data presentation programmes such as $\mathrm{\LaTeX}$ and quarto to prepare reports and presentations. I like writing and presenting information to others.

Domain

Adaptable Programmer

I am able to quickly pick up on new programming concepts and languages and apply them to solve problems. With R I can make statistical analyses and visualisations with a broad context: from architectural calculations to ecological modelling. I am able to use R not just for the creation of scripts, but also for making more complicated web programmes. With python, I am able to implement scripts to parse data, call command line programmes, write output and implement common bioinformatics algorithms. I am also able to implement workflows in snakemake. I am comfortable with using java. In my free time study I rust.
