Metabolomics Scientific Database Curator at EMBL-EBI, bridging laboratory analytical chemistry through computational mass spectrometry to advance open data reuse and FAIR principles.
My expertise spans research domains and lifecycles - from marine lipidomics at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (including co-lead authorship in Science) and regulated, commercial bioanalytical chemistry at LGC, through to data science-driven curation and informatics infrastructure development.
Grounded in an MChem, a Ph. D. in phytoplankton lipidomics and a certification in Python Data Science I work at the intersection of metabolomics domain knowledge, analytical chemistry, and computational approaches. I am particularly focused on metabolomics data standards and scientific database development.
