Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolEvangelos Karatzas is a bioinformatics-focused research fellow and software engineer with eight years of experience applying network analysis, big data methods, and workflow engineering to biological problems. Based at EMBL-EBI and serving as a Nextflow Ambassador, he bridges research infrastructure and reproducible pipelines while translating academic insights into practical tools. His PhD work on network signature techniques for drug repurposing and subsequent projects span microbial proteomes, RNA‑seq analyses, and web tools for drug reranking, reflecting deep expertise in multi-omics integration. He has taught computer networks, contributed to Earth observation and GIS projects, and combines strong R and workflow skills with a software engineering background from his informatics training. Less obvious: he pairs hands-on pipeline development with experience in management and project proposal work, making him effective at coordinating interdisciplinary, infrastructure-scale research efforts.
