Senior🎓
Top SchoolAnton Afanassiev is a mathematical biology researcher and PhD candidate at UBC with 11 years of technical experience applying algorithms and optimal transport methods to single-cell data. He combines strong Python data-science skills (Pandas, scikit-learn) with a solid mathematical foundation from top-tier undergraduate training in pure math. His work blends computational rigor—running large-scale simulations and analyses on high-performance clusters—with practical engineering experience from web development, CRM deployment, and digital marketing. Anton has a track record of translating complex theory into reproducible code and data workflows, and he’s comfortable moving between algorithm design and production-ready tooling. Based in Vancouver, he brings an unusual mix of academic depth and hands-on implementation that helps bridge research and applied data products.
