About me

I’m a postdoctoral fellow at the Wellcome Sanger Institute working in the intersection of bacterial (meta)genomics, probabilistic modelling, and bioinformatics software development. My research currently focuses on the ecology, evolution, and epidemiology of bacterial pathogens that can asymptomatically colonise humans.
