Senior🎓
Top SchoolMaria Salfer (Ria) is a bioinformatics-trained software engineer and data scientist with eight years’ experience building computational tools for life sciences, from a PhD at the Max Planck Institute to consulting roles for pharma clients. She developed and maintains the open-source PyCurv package for estimating membrane curvature in cryo-electron tomography and has applied those algorithmic and engineering skills to production software at Genedata and consulting engagements at blu BEYOND and agap2. Ria combines strong statistical and ML expertise with practical software practices—introducing Git workflows, optimizing R preprocessing scripts, and evaluating AutoML and industrial automation tools for clients. She has a track record of publishing and award-winning research, plus hands-on experience in mass-spec software, computer vision–adjacent projects, and T-cell epitope prediction. Based in Munich, she enjoys connecting at tech meetups and brings a curious, collaborative approach to projects that aim to improve health, safety, and sustainability. She prefers in-person connections and asks contacts to mention where you met.
