Postdoc Starting Kit


Project description:
Comprehensive analysis of (epi)lipidomics data is a challenging task. To deal with large and complex data, comprehensive data analysis pipelines are required. Recent breakthroughs in machine learning and deep learning present promising solutions for lipidomics research. This Postdoc starting kit grant is aimed to boost the progression of the research carrier of Postdocs at TUD. Zhixu Ni uses the grant to be trained in modern machine learning methods by attending professional courses in the area. This learning experience allows him to transfer and apply this technology to (epi)lipidomics research. Postdoc starting kit grant encourage the importance of all-rounded development. It supports postdocs to train soft skills such as mentorship and supervision by offering a project-associated position for student assistance. In this project, Niclas Decker, is recruited to assist with the development of software tools.
