About Me
I am currently Senior Bioinformatician at CGPS - University of Oxford. I was previously Interim Head of Informatics at Quadram Institute Bioscience and I started there as a Bioinformatics Scientific Programmer with Andrew Page. 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.
