June - Sept 2024

Workflow Management Software Engineer

Developer of the workflow manager of the Earth Science department. Mainly in Python3, using CI, containers and HPC like Marenostrum. European projects on high scale and level.

March 2022 - Nov 2022

Senior Bioinformatician

The main goal is to develop a cloud solution to launch/run pipelines for the users of the Human Genetics department. At the same time, it is required to convert the pipelines to Nextflow using modules. Nextflow tower was implemented making it easier for the users to deploy their pipelines and the catalog of the core team build for them.

Ph.D - New algorithmic contributions for large scale multiple sequence alignments of protein sequences

The main goal is to implement a new MSA algorithm to align large datasets. Another part is developing reproducible pipelines with Nextflow and running them in the cloud using AWS, Docker, or Conda. I published multiple articles in scientific journals.

Google Summer of Code - Implement the support for Research Object specification into Nextflow framework

I obtain a Google grant to develop the ResearchObject in Nextflow. I was using Groovy to add the functionality into the core using Github to collaborate with mentors. The developed provenance feature is used in Nextflow, and the project was presented at international conferences.

Capstone Project - MSA for the Big Data era

For the MSc thesis, I implemented an algorithm to perform high-scale MSA. I wrote it in C/C++ and Python, using the container’s technology to ensure reproducibility and HPC-Cloud Computing. I was able to publish an article showing the ability to align 1.4 million sequences.

Capstone Project - Creating DNA Libraries Using Thermodynamics and Sequence Alignment Algorithms

For the Bachelor's undergrad capstone, I did a web server in an international and multidisciplinary team. The aim was to produce random DNA sequences with a user's specific temperature range. I used JavaScript and other web-oriented technologies to build all the required parts.

European Project Semester - Noise Management at EU Airports, Case of Lodz

On the Erasmus+, the European Project Semester was proposed to perform a study about the noise of the Lodz's airport from a theoretical point of view and performing experiments in an anechoic room. I worked with an analytical approach and a practical proposal, using databases and the physics of the sound to solve it. A report was delivered with the analysis and the proposed solution, with a campaign to explain the study to the citizens.
