Dr. Guénolé Le Pennec

Conducted research on genetic changes of microbial populations after infections by virus strains. Development of bioinformatical pipelines for analysis of genomic (NGS) data and genotyping viral isolates. Statistical tests of treatment effects on genetic diversity of microbial populations (linear mixed models). Oral presentations at international conferences. Assisted teaching practical courses in probability and statistics.

Lead a doctoral project on the evolution of genetic systems upon hybridization of species. Development of bioinformatics pipelines for genomic data. Analyzes of ancestry in pool-seq data of populations with mixed origin. GWAS analysis. Computer-efficient (highly vectorized) modeling of population to study evolution of genetic pathway. Scientific communication through writing and oral presentations.

Used publicly available wallet-data of ETH and BTC to assess the extent of market manipulation in crypto-exchanges. Development of concepts for the analysis of open source data. Created an automated data scraping system retrieving crypto-wallet values, asset prices and other variables used for modeling. Compared trade volumes claimed by unregulated crypto-exchanges with predicted volumes from a statistical model.
