Work History
Undergraduate Research Assistant
Cyprus Institute (Centre of Excellence)
08.2024 - Current
Working with Dr Charalambos Chrysostomou on machine learningalgorithms for predictive of modelling of viral protein evolution.
Wrote Python code to read Fasta files and return lists of amino acid sequences. Automated the encoding procedure of amino acids to numbers. Implemented a Convolutional Neural Network and trained it to identify if encoded sequence is Human or Non-Human.
Research assistant
Cyprus Institute of Neurology & Genetics
05.2024 - Current
Working with Dr George Spyrou on bioinformatics. The internship involved a literature project where we had to read and analyze papers. A research project was also carried out on finding the molecules (proteins & genes) that are associated with a specific part of the exposome (ionising radiation, gravity, shear stress, electric & magnetic fields).
Research intern
American University of Beirut
02.2024 - Current
Working with Professor Malek Tabbal on simulations for plasma sputtering processes using SiMTRA software and Python collaborating with University d'Orleans in France.
Completed literature review to understand the physical mechanisms behind the process and assess prior analyses performed.
Academic Research & Teaching Assistant
Imperial College London
09.2023 - Current
Assisting 1st year undergraduate students with laboratory work by demonstrating experiments involving electronics and optics.
Completed Pedagogy for Physics course that trains physics students for teaching.
Assisting with academic research the Ion-Trapping research group.
