Top SchoolLeonidas Souliotis is a Senior Data Scientist and bioinformatician based in Cambridge with nine years of experience applying machine learning and deep learning to metagenomics and oncology R&D. At AstraZeneca he partners with clinicians and senior stakeholders to deliver survival analysis, NLP, and production-ready R/Python tooling, while his PhD work translated novel ML methods for genome recovery into real-world metagenomic datasets. He also designs and teaches data science curricula—running professional masters workshops and creating a popular DataCamp course on efficient pandas usage—bridging research, education, and product delivery. Trained in statistics and machine learning (MSc Imperial College; PhD Warwick), he combines rigorous probabilistic foundations with hands-on engineering to move complex bioinformatics pipelines into reproducible workflows. An understated strength is his track record of turning cutting-edge research methods into usable packages and training materials that scale across teams.
