I’m currently a post-doc in the CompBio research group at Comenius University in Bratislava (Slovakia).

My main project consists in developing approaches to enhance our comprehension of structural variations, especially in repetitive regions of the genome (Horizon ERA fellowship ASVA-CGR).

As side projects, I like to work with data structures and pangenomes.
