      👨‍🎓 I have recently completed my university education in London in biomedical science.  I used to perform experiments in the lab, but I gradually moved away and started doing research using computers!

      🔢 Data wrangling is “the process of transforming and mapping data from one “raw” data form into another format with the intent of making it more appropriate and valuable for a variety of downstream purposes such as analytics.”  This means I re-format and re-structure data, mainly data from clinical studies and experiments, into a way that can be adopted by analysts and researchers for their analysis.  In short, I play around with data to make it more accessible.

    • My Typical Day:

      💻 I get up early in the morning to go to my office. I spend most of the day on my computer looking at numbers and more numbers! There are usually quite a few meetings or seminars to attend during the day.

      💻 I spend a large amount of time at my desk to write scripts to process the data I have.  It takes quite a bit of time to write scripts, ensure the logic is correct, and the script is error-free.  I used different programming languages to write my scripts.  I also attend meetings with other staff and other collaborators as research is not a one-man thing.  I have to discuss problems and difficulties with others, and craft plans for further research.

    • What I'd do with the prize money:

      🙆‍♂️ Arrange some outreach events and activities to promote science!
