Katka (
katarinagresova.com), is a postdoc working on machine learning for genomics at the Max Delbrück Center in Berlin. I came to biology sideways: a computer science degree first, a few years writing software professionally, then a master's in bioinformatics and a PhD on how small RNAs pick their targets. Along the way I've lived and worked in Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Malta, and the US before landing in Berlin. Outside of research, I teach deep-learning workshops, write open-source tutorials to help scientists pick up the computational skills nobody puts on a syllabus, climb and hike whenever I get the chance, and am currently trying to turn myself into a runner and cyclist too
