Meet The Founders
We aim to build RSSE Africa into a vibrant community, so expect this page to change in the future. For now, let us introduce the founders:
Peter is a bioinformatician at the South African National Bioinformatics Institute (SANBI), where he has worked for many years. Over the years his research focuses have shifted from research systems engineering to scientific workflow systems to his current focus on pathogen genomics and genomic epidemiology. He is also involved in the Galaxy community and PHA4GE.
Eugene is a DevOps/Systems guy working at the CHPC ACE Lab who has a keen interest in high performance computing (HPC) and security. He enjoys innovating and automating things. His M.Sc. (from the South African National Bioinformatics Institute) focussed on secure computing on biological data using cloud, workflows and containers.
