Data Champions Search

I am a PhD student in engineering, in the machine learning group. I am passionate about using version control for data/code management, and various kinds of virtual lab notebooks.

Dominik graduated from Applied Physics at the University of Warsaw, before transitioning to neuroscience. In 2021, he completed PhD at Cardiff University Brain Research Imaging Centre. Also, the same year, he became a Software Sustainability Institute Fellow concentrated on promoting good scientific programming practices. He organizes workshops focused on testing and code reviews. Currently, Dominik works as a Research Associate in the FlyConnectome group, where he develops computational tools that support structural analysis of a fruit fly (Drosophila) nervous system.

I provide Bioinformatic support for a few research groups in the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute. For the most part I deal with the analysis of single cell sequencing data, storage management of such data and the deployment of data processing pipelines into HPC environments.

Qi received her PhD at the University of California, Los Angeles, where she developed computational methods to study alternative splicing and the evolution of HIV. Later she joined the UCLA Division of Dermatology to help identify the resistance mechanisms of targeted cancer therapies using computational tools. 
    
In 2011 she was awarded the Humboldt Research Fellowship to work in the Division of Theoretical Bioinformatics, and later the Division of Applied Bioinformatics, at the German Cancer Research Centre. There she worked on diverse bioinformatics projects with NGS data, such as studying genome-wide epigenetic regulation of cell differentiation, developing sequencing protocols and detecting somatic mutations from whole-genome sequencing data, as well as data integration and predictive modelling. 
    
Currently, she provides bioinformatics training and support to PhD students and postdoctoral researchers in the lab of Professor Beverley Glover.
