Summary
Karim Mezhoud is a data scientist and associate professor with 11+ years of experience applying R- and Python-driven analytics to biomedical research, nuclear science, and business problems. He teaches bioinformatics and biostatistics at the master’s level, develops R/Bioconductor packages (canceR, bioCancer, radiant.dose, papSmear) and builds end-to-end solutions from Shiny dashboards to Spark-backed pipelines. His hands-on freelance work spans image and signal processing (facial recognition, medical imaging), predictive modeling (xgboost, fraud and sales forecasting), and operational ML for streaming and embedded data capture. Trained as a PhD in environmental toxicology with an HDR in bioinformatics, Karim uniquely bridges domain science, reproducible GNU/Linux-based workflows, and practical productization of complex genomics and dosimetry datasets. He favors R for exploratory analysis and Python for production prediction, and maintains a GitHub portfolio of reproducible examples used to teach and scale projects.
