Experience
The University of blah blah, UK
Research Assistant July 2014 - Present
ˆ Analysed data from a large cohort of patients to determine phenotypic risk factors for an aortic
disease using Python for a pending publication.
 Extensive data cleaning and ltering using the Pandas library.
 Applied statistical methods using SciPy to determine signicant relationships between
causative genetic variants and phenotypic features.
 Utilised data visualisation libraries (Matplotlib and Seaborn) to present analysed data.
 Source code can be found at github.com/blah/blah
ˆ Developed and maintained software which parses genetic data through a bioinformatic analysis
pipeline to allow novice UNIX users to perform the analysis on their own datasets.
 Source code can be found at github.com/blah/blah
ˆ Developed, optimised and documented a sequencing method which decreased our dependency
upon external service providers thereby reducing data generation time from 8 weeks to 1 week.
ˆ Primary manuscript writer, rst author and submitter of our research ndings on Thoracic Aortic
Aneurysms and Dissections.
ˆ Presented weekly reports of research progress to communicate research ndings through
powerpoint presentations, jupyter notebooks and discussion groups.
ˆ Tutored researchers in scripting, data processing and working in high performance computing
environments.
ˆ Participated in institute wide programming challenges to complete Project Euler problems to
improve and test my knowledge of Python.
