👋 Hi there! I’m a passionate bioinformatics researcher with a strong background in computational biology, next-generation sequencing (NGS), and data visualization. I recently completed my PhD at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, where I focused on leveraging bioinformatics tools to study genetic diversity and adaptation in teosinte, a wild maize relative. I’m now seeking new challenges to apply and expand my expertise in a dynamic research or industry setting.
