Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlper Yilmaz is an Assistant Professor of Bioengineering at Yildiz Technical University with over a decade of experience bridging molecular biology and bioinformatics. He focuses on k-mer analysis of genomic DNA, mining next-generation RNA-Seq datasets, and applying deep learning to gene expression, pairing rigorous wet-lab training (Ph.D. from The Ohio State University) with self-taught computational expertise. A command-line and Docker enthusiast who favors plain text, (R)Markdown and the Tidyverse, he blends reproducible data science practices with biological insight to produce portable, transparent analyses. His background in translational control of HIV-1 mRNAs informs a practical understanding of viral biology that shapes his computational investigations into sequence patterns and expression signatures. Colleagues know him as an introverted, numbers- and code-driven researcher who nevertheless brings meticulous, pipeline-oriented thinking to complex genomics problems.
