OBJECTIVE
MSc in bioinformatics at École Normale Supérieure – PSL and Qlife Award fellow with hands-on experience in spatial transcriptomics, ML | AI, and 3D genome engineering (Curie Institute, Institute of Gene Biology). Seeking to build mathematical models to understand fundamental biological processes.
RESEARCH
Master's Thesis in the Pierre Bost Laboratory
-
Jun 2025
Curie Institute | Paris, France
Title: "Impact of 2D sampling on the characterization of cellular structures in tissues"
- Developed spatial statistical models for 3D imaging datasets, revealing sampling-induced biases
- Worked on mathematical foundations of 2D sampling; built simulations to model several tissue types
Bachelor's Thesis in the Sergey Rasin Laboratory
