Welcome to my quasi-professional webpage. I am an engineer at PromptBio involved in the design and development of a biomarker discovery platform based on analyses of multiomics data.

My current broad interest is in data science with a predilection for its applications in precision medicine and systems engineering for scalable compute/storage infrastructure. In the recent past, I've been interested in developing algorithms for next-generation sequencing applications, with a focus on liquid biopsy for cancer screening. Prior to joining PromptBio, I've held research and development positions at GRAIL, Illumina and Nabsys. 

Before switching my interest to life sciences and biotechnology, I have worked on methods and tools to improve safety and security of cyber-physical systems. My research then concerned development and application of formal methods (logic and semantics based analyses) toward rigorous model-driven engineering of cyber-physical systems. While working in this domain, I've held research and development positions at MathWorks, Max Planck Institute for Software Systems, Fraunhofer IESE, General Motors Research, IMEC and IIT Delhi, and I obtained a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium.

• Avocation and such:

  • I leave my share of tidbits here and here.

  • I (and my wife) love collecting books. If you are interested, here's our collection (not updated in ages, sigh!).

  • Of all the -isms, humanism appeals to me the most.
