Experimental study of targeted training-data poisoning against SVMs learning from streams, testing whether attacks can evade loss-based anomaly filtering and whether a feature-space stability metric can detect decision-boundary manipulation.Tests image classifiers against adversarial attacks and defenses.

Source code Manuscript

Python sequence-design pipeline for yeast CRISPR/Cas9 experiments that selects 20-base guides near NGG PAMs, builds 132-base donor sequences around requested mutations, adds silent edits to prevent re-cutting, and exports XLS results.Automates CRISPR guide and donor design for yeast.

Recommendations

Nicolas was already a highly skilled engineer when I met him, clearly immersed in the latest agentic coding practices and enthusiastic about learning more. He exhibited a great passion for building useful software and taking an active interest in stakeholders' needs. I highly recommend him for software engineering roles, especially any for which clear communication is a necessity.

Nicolas has worked with me on an open source project, CytoCV, in collaboration with biologists at the University of Utah. He has excelled in many critical areas on this project including software engineering, web development, UX, computer vision, and the ability to work with biologists and translate their needs into software. Nicolas is proactive in identifying and solving issues and has demonstrated excellent skills in writing, documentation, and collaboration.

I highly recommend Nicolas for software engineering and development roles. I was his instructor for two undergraduate CSS courses and then he was a grader for two CSS courses. Nicolas is dedicated, detail-oriented, and has strong collaboration skills. I counted on him to provide meaningful feedback on student work, and he was proactive in raising issues and potential solutions. He will be a great asset to his future teams!
