About me

My name is Kenny Lam, I am a Research Assistant at The University of Melbourne. I completed my Bachelor's study in data science at ANU in 2018. Afterward, I decided to pursue the field of bioinformatics, where I went on to study MSc (Bioinformatics) at The University of Melbourne. During the MSc, I completed the Google Summer of Code 2023 program at EMBL-EBI, and a data science internship at Bega Group. For my current work, I am currently working on multiple chemical engineering projects collaborating with industry partners.
