me

I am Martin, a data scientist working in the healthcare industry with a master's degree in computer science from EPFL.

Interested in the healthcare sector, I enjoy solving challenging problems that have the potential to have a significant positive impact on society. I currently work at Volv Global, where we create AI to diagnose people with rare diseases.

Experience

Volv Global

Data Scientist, January 2023 - present

  • Develop AI models to diagnose people with rare diseases using Electronic medical records (EMRs).
  • Create and design data analytics to provide customers with valuable patient and disease information, such as the patient journey.

Centre hospitalier universitaire vaudois (CHUV)

Data Scientist in the Oncology Department, January 2022 - August 2022

  • Created a method to automatically label cells in hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) images.
  • Improved model accuracy with an average of 94%, compared to a maximum of 78% at the beginning of the project.
  • Improved project time complexity from exponential to linear, resulting in a 27 times faster process.

Cell type identification using Deep Learning Model trained with cell type information transferred from mIF to co-registered H&E images

This project was conducted at the Centre hospitalier universitaire vaudois (CHUV). The goal was to automatically label H&E cells by transferring the information from the mIF WSI. The transfer was achieved by doing a registration on the two images. The nearly one million cells extract from three tissues allowed me to train different deep learning models, giving me an accuracy of around 93%.

A Meathic Story of Europe

Datastory with analyses and statistics on meat consumption in Europe and more precisely for France. The project aim to see if it is possible to determine some of the drivers behind people's meat consumption. The analyses focused on the relationship with the economy and the coverage of climate change in the media.

Tools used : Pandas, Plotly, Sklearn and Numpy

Exploring the crimes in Chicago from 2001 to 2019

Visualization project, the goal of which was to provide an overview of all types of crimes between 2001 and 2020 in the city of Chicago. This is a creative project where I developed visualizations mainly using D3js.

Tools used : Pandas, D3js, Leaflet and Jawg
