Welcome to my GitHub page!

I'm Silvia, a PhD candidate at the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM), Spain . I’m currently finishing my doctoral thesis in computational and theoretical microbial ecology at Aguirre de Cárcer's Lab.

🔭 My work focuses on...

  • Developing and maintaining bioinformatic workflows for microbial community analysis 🧬
  • Integrating tools for functional annotation (e.g. eggNOG-mapper, FunctionInk) 🔎
  • Metabolic modeling using FBA-based tools (ReFramed, CarveMe, Smetana, MISO) ⚙️
  • Designing reproducible pipelines and simulation tools (dilgrowth package) 🧪

💻 Some programming languages and tools I have worked with

Python R bash Linux C++ Git Linux Perl MATLAB

⚙️ I have experience with...

  • Studying microbial community assembly through identification of phylogenetic core groups, functional annotation, and metabolic modeling (FBA).
  • Managing HPC environments (CBM, CCC-UAM clusters) and workflow optimization using SLURM.
  • Programming for automated lab platforms (Opentrons OT-2).
  • Collaborating with national and international research teams (Spain 🇪🇸, Norway 🇳🇴, Japan 🇯🇵).
  • Supporting researchers in metagenomic and metatranscriptomic data processing.

👯 I’m looking to collaborate on...

- Applying bioinformatics and computational tools to advance scientific research 🧬
- Development and integration of open-source bioinformatic tools 🔧

📫 How to reach me

  • 📧 [email protected]
  • 📍Faculty of Science - Biology Building, C/ Darwin 2, 28049 Madrid
  • 🗣️ You can talk to me in Spanish, English, French, or Japanese, and I’m learning Norwegian and Chinese.

💻 Featured Projects and Repositories


R logo

    dilgrowth
This package includes command line scripts and standalone R/c++ functions for simulating growth-dilution experiments. These simulations include neutral drift and optionally functional groups with different group fitness.

R logo

    correlation_graphs
Based on Goyal et al.'s (2018) method for inferring statistically significant correlations between OTUs.

Python logo

    SBML_to_graph
A few rudimentary functions to generate metabolite graphs from SBML models. Uses ReFramed and one CarveMe function.

Python logo

    custom_ot2_utils
Opentrons OT2 robot functions or custom labware definitions that we feel other people might find useful
