-My thesis has focused on how experimental data produced from protein engineering studies could be complemented by computational and statistical methods to predict beneficial mutations and understand protein function. I have used sequence, structural and biochemical data for the epoxide hydrolase from the fungus //Aspergillus niger// (//An//EH) as a model systemhave implemented contrasting machine learning methods, i.e. //generative// vs //discriminative//, to predict selectivity-enhancing mutations. I have also applied molecular modelling methods such as docking, molecular dynamics and free energy calculations to determine the effect of ligand binding and multiple reaction pathways on the enantioselectivity of //An//EH.+My thesis focused on how experimental data produced from protein engineering studies could be complemented by computational and statistical methods to predict beneficial mutations and understand protein function. Using sequence, structural and biochemical data for the epoxide hydrolase from the fungus //Aspergillus niger// (//An//EH) as a model systemI implemented contrasting machine learning methods, i.e. //generative// vs //discriminative//, to predict selectivity-enhancing mutations.

-In combination with my thesis research, I have collaborated with Prof. Burkhard Rost’s group (Technical University of Munich, protein structure and function prediction) and provided technical and analytical assistance to the groups of Prof. Elizabeth Gillam (University of Queensland, characterisation of cytochrome P450 enzymes) and Prof. Bostjan Kobe (University of Queensland, structural biology of infection and immunity). +During my thesis research, I collaborated with Prof. Burkhard Rost’s group (Technical University of Munich, protein structure and function prediction) and provided technical and analytical assistance to the groups of Prof. Elizabeth Gillam (University of Queensland, characterisation of cytochrome P450 enzymes) and Prof. Bostjan Kobe (University of Queensland, structural biology of infection and immunity).
