I am a microbiologist, biostatistician, and bioinformatician specializing in microbiome research, antimicrobial resistance, and pathogen genomics. I hold a PhD in Microbiology (2024) from the National Center for Infectious and Parasitic Diseases (NCIPD), where I work as a postdoctoral researcher in the Microbiome Sector, and I am an Assistant Professor at New Bulgarian University. I am a member of the Federation of European Microbiological Societies (FEMS) and the Bulgarian Society for Microbiology (BgSM). I graduated in Molecular Biology and completed postgraduate studies in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, as well as a Minor in Pedagogy in Biology and Chemistry, at Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski.” My doctoral thesis, supervised by Prof. Stefan Panaiotov, DSc, focused on bioinformatic and microbiome analysis in the pathogenesis of sarcoidosis. My research explores blood microbiome dysbiosis, zoonotic reservoirs, and infection modeling. I have authored or coauthored 23 publications (19 in impact factor journals) with more than 230 citations and an h-index of 9.
