Evangelinou

> Bioinformatician

Bioinformatics MSc graduate with a background in Applied Mathematics, focused on computational genomics and population genetics. I work in Python and R on statistical modelling for biological data, with hands-on experience in machine learning, population-genetics tooling (PLINK, kinship software) and genomics workflows. I care about integrating mathematics, code and molecular biology to support genetic and pharmaceutical research.

// what I do

Where mathematics meets molecular biology

I turn raw biological data into clear, defensible answers — combining rigorous statistics with reproducible code.

  • Population genetics

    Analysing genetic structure, ancestry and kinship across demographic scenarios, including admixture and relatedness inference.

  • Statistical modelling

    Bootstrap methods, hypothesis testing and robust diagnostics for messy biological data, grounded in applied mathematics.

  • Machine learning

    PCA, Random Forests and classification pipelines built with scikit-learn for prediction and dimensionality reduction.

  • Genomics workflows

    Reproducible analysis on Linux with Bash, Bioconda and Git — from raw sequence data to interpretable results.
