Fátima A. Dávila H.

6 years of experimental and computational experience in interdisciplinary bioinspired research. Computational protein design using the Rosetta Macromolecular Modeling Suite and PyRosetta in a High Performance Computing Cluster environment. Additional experience includes programming, analyzing and manipulating data in Python using libraries such as NumPy, Matplotlib, and Pandas, and basic Bash scripting. Wet lab experience focused on protein production and purification, biomineralization, and nanomaterials. Experienced in techniques for biochemical characterization, molecular biology and materials characterization (SEC, CD, UV-Vis, molecular cloning, TEM, DLS, Zeta Potential and FTIR). Versed in additional characterization techniques such as AFM, LCMS, SECMALS, XRD. Communication skills demonstrated through ongoing presentations and discussions both at regularly scheduled group meetings and interdisciplinary research center meetings. Project management through the conceptualization, design, and execution of projects and experiments. Managed coordination with collaborators.
