Zacharias Papadovasilakis, M.Sc. is a Data Scientist at JADBio. He received his diploma (integrated Bachelor & Master) in Mechanical Engineering from the faculty of Engineering of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH) in 2014. At the beginning of 2019 he formalized his enthusiasm for programming and computational modelling by receiving his M.Sc. in Bioinformatics from the School of Medicine at University of Crete (UOC), while he was employed later on as a Research Assistant to prof.
