CV
Biotech R&D - AI/ML - BioPhysicist
With a PhD in Physics and hands-on industry experience in biotech (10+ years of combined experience), I tackle complex problems, particularly in science, technology, and healthcare. In addition to strong analytical skills, I have extensive experience in data visualization, scientific communication, and mentoring. I’m passionate about contributing to projects that have a positive impact on society.
