About Me
I am currently Interim Head of Informatics at Quadram Institute Bioscience. I was previously a Bioinformatics Scientific Programmer with Andrew Page at Quadram Institute Bioscience. Before that I was a Senior Research Fellow with Mark Achtman at the University of Warwick.
I completed my PhD in 2015, under the supervision of Scott Beatson at the University of Queensland. I graduated from UQ with a Bachelor of Information Technology and a Bachelor of Science in 2008.
