Galina Malovichko, PhD ******.*****@*****.***
Profile
• 2 years of data analysis and machine learning experience in a scientific environment
• Selected ML algorithms: linear / logistic regression, random forest, gradient boosted trees, SVM, kNN, PCA, k- means
• Technologies: Python, numpy, pandas, scipy, scikit-learn, matplotlib, git, SQL Education
2017 Ph.D., Condensed Matter Physics • University of California, Davis 2009 M.S., Physics • Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Russia 2007 B.S., Physics • Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Russia Work Experience
2012-2017 UC Davis • Graduate Student Researcher
• I implemented early steps of drug development pipeline, conducting multiple high-throughput experiments with 50k+ of chemical reactions in each experiment and tracking the reactions with polarized light. I derived geometrical features from microarray images for heuristic reaction detection and fitted various chemical mod- els to the binding curves. I also numerically modeled the optical signal as a function of microarray physical properties and explored limitations of approximate analytical solution.
• Performed dose-response analysis of chemical binding in the presence of an inhibitor. I aggregated experi- mental data from over 380 images of 25 features of interest in each image, modeled, fitted and plotted binding strength dependence on inhibitor concentration.
• Screened sets of 3.5k+ peptides of similar composition against protein ligand to investigate the effect of small changes in peptide composition on binding strength and synthesis efficiency. I filtered and aggregated microar- ray images and binding curves data to visualize and quantify these effects.
• Applied ellipsometry to measure thin film magnetization in the presence of the external field. I de-spiked, de-trended and averaged multiple hysteresis loop curves to increase signal-to-noise ratio. Technologies: Python, numpy, pandas, scipy, matplotlib. 2011-2017 UC Davis • Teaching Assistant
• Taught and graded multiple lower- and upper-division physics courses. 2011-2017 NT-MDT •QualityControlEngineer
• Ran series of tests on atomic force microscopes and scanning tunneling microscopes. Acquired test images, I-V curves and approach curves to evaluate device performance.
