Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMaria Kamouyiaros is a bioinformatician at the Natural History Museum, London, with eight years' experience applying 'omics to marine ecology and evolutionary biology. A first-generation university graduate and immigrant, she progressed from marine ecology to a PhD in marine biology and now builds accessible, reproducible bioinformatics tools—currently an automated metagenome assembly pipeline tailored for low-quality Illumina libraries and museomics. Her work blends applied research with a passion for open-access data and making STEM more inclusive, and she routinely tackles eco-evolutionary questions using computational approaches. Based in London, she combines field-born ecological insight with rigorous computational practice to deliver practical pipelines for challenging specimen-derived datasets.
