Short Bio
My name is Julián Soto Pérez. I am from Añasco. I completed a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at The University of Puerto Rico – Mayagüez. Currently I am working in Riccardo Papa’s Lab, working on a genome assembly and analysis project. After RaMP-UP I plan on pursuing graduate studies in a field that explores the intersection between the life sciences and computing.
A fun fact or hobby: My hobbies and interests have changed a lot, but at the moment I am very interested in fitness and gaming.
