He works at the intersection of algorithms, biology and good spicy food \u2014 an unusual mix, but a surprisingly effective one. With an analytical approach that is both rigorous and remarkably creative, he turns complex datasets into understandable results, elegant visualizations and pipelines that keep working even when they theoretically shouldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From structural genomics to multi-omics analyses, Tiago develops bioinformatic tools, optimizes scripts, manages complex data flows and supports research groups in interpreting their results. He is the person everyone turns to when they need a difficult assembly, an \u201cimpossible\u201d analysis, or simply someone capable of telling at a glance whether something is a bug or a feature (\u201csometimes they\u2019re the same thing,\u201d he would say).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His work blends technical precision and creativity: he can turn intricate datasets into clear models and refined visualizations thanks to a systematic approach that spans from code writing to careful quality control of the final output. Those who work with him know that the depth of his explanations is directly proportional to the complexity of the problem: Tiago is brilliant, competent and sometimes\u2026 very dense. But if you pause for a moment, the elegant logic behind his reasoning \u2014 and his way of looking at data \u2014 becomes clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He remains faithful to a set of constants from his unofficial biography: a fondness for spices like ras el hanout, harissa and gochujang (excellent indicators of his whereabouts during lunch breaks), a documented attraction to coffee and mate, and an unexpected ability to \u201cfly\u201d over rivers on a bicycle. He doesn\u2019t have wings \u2014 at least not literally \u2014 but he certainly has his own way of approaching problems \u201cfrom above\u201d, a quality that turns out to be extremely useful in research as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When he isn\u2019t immersed in sequences, pipelines or questionably sized datasets, he is likely discussing improbable taxonomies, the names of new software releases, or the latest cat (or capybara) picture deserving of scientific attention. In any case, he\u2019s hard to miss: Tiago brings with him a mix of technical expertise, curiosity and humor that makes the lab a brighter place \u2014 and definitely a spicier one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":174,"featured_media":811,"template":"","person_category":[33],"person_tag":[],"class_list":["post-808","person","type-person","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","person_category-bioinformatics-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lete.unimi.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/person-api\/808"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lete.unimi.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/person-api"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lete.unimi.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/person"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lete.unimi.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/174"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/lete.unimi.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/person-api\/808\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1171,"href":"https:\/\/lete.unimi.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/person-api\/808\/revisions\/1171"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lete.unimi.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/811"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lete.unimi.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=808"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"person_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lete.unimi.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/person_category?post=808"},{"taxonomy":"person_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lete.unimi.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/person_tag?post=808"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
