Research

I am interested in the environmental impact of computer-based research. We developed the Green Algorithms project to push forward the discussion around this issue. More info here and on www.green-algorithms.org

During my PhD, I focused on better understanding and standardising the prediction of Protein-Protein Interactions (PPIs) using Machine Learning. More

I also contribute to clinical studies to advise on statistical methodology.
