Miss Namir Oues
PhD Student
Summary
I am a doctoral researcher working on designing and implementing machine learning techniques to predict the effect of mutations on protein dynamics. For my work, I use data from computational simulations of proteins generated with Molecular Dynamics methods.
My academic background is in Applied Mathematics and Data Science and Analytics fields.
I have professional experience working at the Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency as a Research Software Applications Developer and Data Scientist UK’s Government’s primary healthcare data. While working in MHRA I was also part of the team monitoring the Covid Vaccination Surveillance program.
