David Pham
Computer Science Student at Simon Fraser University
About me
I am a second degree student in computer science at the Simon Fraser University. My previous field of training was in Microbiology and Immunology at the University of British Columbia. I made my transition into the tech space when I realized I‘d rather wait for a for-loop to finish than a PCR to finish. Spoiler alert. A PCR takes longer. Usually… While studying computer science, I encountered genomics, an exciting interdisciplinary field that tackles complex biological problems with computing power. Wanting learn more, I joined the GeNA (Genomics and Network Analysis) lab and started to look at genomics through the completely new lens of a social scientist.
In addition to working at the GeNA lab as a research assistant, I work at the Robots with Social Intelligence and Empathy (ROSIE) lab at SFU as a software developer for Pepper. At the ROSIE lab I assist with their Human-Robot-Interactions (HRI). As you can see, I have many interests and wear many hats. I love technology and cool ideas in general. As a result, I am constantly juggling different projects that are often multi-disciplinary in nature. I believe that it makes me a strong asset to any team. My primary languages are Javascript, python, C and SQL, but I have an appetite for much more!
