Hi, I'm Carlos

I'm a chilean biochemist interested in understanding living organisms' biochemical evolution through mathematical and computational models. In my spare time I'm a Neovim plugin developer and Julia Language enthusiast, as well as part-time photographer.

What am I up to?

I'm currently doing my PhD at Université de Lille and Institute Pasteur de Lille on developing a framework to study evolution from the point of view of cellular metabolism using unconventional computational paradigms.

For a more in-depth view of my experience, please refer to my CV (también disponible en español).

Projects

Science

• De novo prediction of drug targets and candidates by chemical similarity-guided network-based inference
• ResidueFisher, bioinformatics protocol that aims at mining information at the sequence and structure level of protein chain to detect possible evolutionary conserved residues

Neovim

• diferente.nvim, a plugin for enhancing the UX of Git commits in Neovim, inspired in commitia.vim.
• esqueleto.nvim, a plugin for managing template files in Neovim.
• denote.nvim, a plugin for simple notes for Neovim with an efficient file-naming scheme.

Julia Language

• SimSpread.jl, a software package implements the SimSpread algorithm for link prediction in graphs.
• HyperdimensionalComputing.jl, a software package for hyperdimensional computing (HDC) in Julia.

Personal

• recetario, a compendium of miscellaneous script for all things science, ML, DS, Julia, etc.
