I have a PhD in biochemistry and molecular biology and am a post-doctoral fellow in computational virology. I build computational models of viruses (like influenza A and dengue) to better understand their biophysical properties. This requires extensive use of the Python programming language to parse shapes, volumes and areas. This is accomplished by leveraging numpy and scipy to perform computational geometry calculations. I am working with the scientific Python community to improve our computational geometry capabilities--my most recent presentations were at PyData London 2015 and PyCon 2016, both of which focus on computational geometry in Python.
