Summary
Yuan Tian is a Senior Bioinformatics Scientist with nine years’ experience building end-to-end computational solutions that span low-level high-performance C tooling for FASTQ parsing to large-scale data pipelines, statistical/Machine Learning libraries in R, and web/app prototypes in Node.js and React. Based in Bath and currently at Illumina, he has a strong track record in DNA methylation and Nanopore modification analysis, developing Nextflow pipelines, novel bias-correcting peak algorithms, and production web portals for research resources. He combines academic rigor from a PhD in Computational Biology with hands-on engineering, supervising PhD projects and authoring grant proposals while shipping reproducible bioinformatics software. Not obvious at first glance: he bridges research and product by contributing both core algorithm development (R/C) and user-facing data portals, enabling teams to move quickly from novel methods to accessible tools.
