About me

My research focuses on developing efficient methods to retrieve information from noisy whole-genome sequencing or SNP array data.

I obtained my DPhil from the University of Oxford in May 2020, Department of Statistics, supervised by Jonathan Marchini and Pier Palamara. During my DPhil I developed IMPUTE5, a software for genotype imputation of SNP array datasets.

I then moved to Switzerland where I extended my work to low-pass sequencing data as a postdoctoral researcher in the Systems and Population Genetics Group, supervised by Olivier Delaneau at University of Lausanne.

In my free time I like to go hiking or explore the neighbouring villages with my bike. When in Europe, I am likely found in a Finnish forest picking berries or in a sauna!
