Education* 2019/7 - 2021/7 Post-doctorate, Occupational and Environmental Health, Université de Montréal * 2012/9 - 2019/6 PhD, Computer Science, Université du Québec à Montréal * 2010/9 - 2012/8 MSc, Computer Science, Université du Québec à Montréal * 2009/09- 2010/8 Diploma, Bioinformatics, Université du Québec à Montréal ResearchThe research of Professor Nadia Tahiri focuses on establishing robust mathematical and statistical foundations to address the complex problem of phylogenetic tree classification and clustering. She is also dedicated to developing an open-source platform for biologists, enabling them to apply these cutting-edge methods. This work involves defining new optimization criteria for constructing multiple alternative consensus and supertrees using clustering algorithms and key phylogenetic tree metrics.Prizes and honours* 2020/3 BMSS Best Trainee Abstract Award, Society of Toxicology * 2019/7 - 2019/7 Travel Grant and Registration Award, SciPy conference * 2018/11 - 2018/11 Best Poster, Association for Computing Machinery * 2018/9 - 2018/12 Certificate of Teaching Excellence, University of Quebec at Montreal QCBS students Aleksandr KoshkarovPh.D.  Godin RyanM.Sc.
