I am a Bioengineering PhD student at the University of Edinburgh working on optimal experimental design for automated model calibration and selection, both computationally and experimentaly. Coming from a pure experimental background (Microbiology), I discovered how powerfull modeling can be in not just predicting, but designing new biological systems, hence my transition to a hybrid type of work. I discovered Julia a couple of years ago, looking for faster environments to do my computational research (mostly Bayesian based), and now I completely shifted all my work to it!
