My Personal Website/Blog thinggy

My name is Vu Lam, Dang. I'm a researcher (PhD candidate) for the Center for Bioinformatic, Saarland University under professor Sven Rahmann supervision. My works lie between biological research in Population Genomics, Computer Science and Linear Algebra, with some DevOps springle in here and there.

In 2021, I graduated from UGA's MoSIG program (Grenoble, France), specialized in Data Science. For my Master project, I investigated the grouping of residues in protein sequence into sectors with a method called SCA (Statistical Coupling Analysis). I had also developed a model to simulate the statistical coupling of these residues, using Gibbs sampling.

For M1 internship I worked under Dr. Michael Blum's supervision to develop new method to calculate Polygenic Risk Score.

After graduating from the University of Science and Technology of Hanoi, I worked on a bioinformatic project under supervision of Dr. Pierre Larmande at USTH's ICTLab, developing an engine to query from multiple genomics databases. My bachelor thesis was an effort to combine Particle Swarm Optimisation to improve Extreme Learning Machine, under Dr. Sebastian Basterrech supervision.

Beside working in informatics, I was the founder of a Fab Lab and Technology Club at USTH. Builder of several machines and design, I am well versed in (very informal) mechanical design and CAD/CAM. Favorite flavor of CAD: Fusion 360.
