Background

I am a data scientist and educator with a PhD in Computer Science and over ten years of experience in academia and interdisciplinary research. My expertise spans artificial intelligence, machine learning, data analytics, and biotechnology. I have supervised students at BSc, MSc, and PhD levels, led research projects, and collaborated across academia and industry. I am passionate about supporting career development, research excellence, and helping others navigate opportunities in data science.

Motivation

I am motivated to join the Mentoring Programme because I enjoy supporting the development of students and early-career data scientists. Through my experience in academia, research, and industry collaboration, I have gained insights into different career paths and the challenges that come with them. I hope to share my experiences, provide guidance, and help mentees build confidence, develop their skills, and make informed decisions about their future careers.
