About me

Hello everyone! I am Semiramis, a Data Scientist who codes in Python, R, and Bash. During my PhD I developed automated solutions for data cleaning, analysis and visualization in bacterial Genomics. Currently I’m applying my research and programming skills in an company as a Data Scientist.

R and Python Talks

Advanced R Bookclub. Chapter 23 & 24: Measuring and improving performance

DEC-2020, R-Ladies Netherlands (on-line)

(Slides will be available a few days before the talk)

Talk & exercises about the use of {profviz} and bench::mark to measure the performance of our code, and what we can do to improve it (for example, the use of vectorization and prefer not to copy objects).

How to make amazing presentations with {xaringan}

AUG-2020, R-Ladies Monterrey (on-line)

 Slides

Talk & workshop on how to create presentations with RStudio and the {xaringan} package. The presentations are built as RMarkdown files, they can be customized with templates and our css styles. One of the most important features is that we can insert code snippets and, if we want to, show their output.

Advanced R Bookclub. Chapter 8: Conditions

JUL-2020, R-Ladies Netherlands (on-line)

 Slides

Talk & exercises about errors, warnings, and messages; how to handle them, and how to create custom condition objects.

Introduction to the Python libraries argparse, SeqIO and NetworkX

OCT, 2019, PyLadies Mexico City

 Slides (in Spanish)

Examples with Python modules argparse for passing named command-line arguments, SeqIO to load and read biological data (genomic sequences), and NetworkX for the analysis of biological networks.

Case study: visualization of genomics data in R

JUN, 2017, Sciences School, National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM)

 Slides (in Spanish)

Example on the use of R to visualize genomics data, suitable for heatmap or colored matrix representation in R with the ComplexHeatmap package.

Using the hypergeometric test in R

MAR, 2016, Sciences School, National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM)

 Slides (in Spanish)

Introductory talk and use cases for the hypergeometric tests, like enrichment (over-representation) or depletion of a group. Short exercises with R.

Antibiotic resistance talks

FEB-JUL, 2019, Center for Genomic Sciences, National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM)

Introduction to antibiotic resistance

 Slides (in Spanish)
