About Me

My name is Enes Kemal, and I am currently working towards my Ph.D. at the University of British Columbia. My research interests span various fields, from cognitive artificial intelligence to medical applications of AI, from bioinformatics to astrophysics. I love exploring new horizons in different areas. Currently, I am fascinated by proteomics and its applications. I work as a graduate assistant in Lange Lab and hope to learn more about proteomics.
