Cheick A. T. Sissoko
๐๐ด Born and raised in West Africa, ๐โ๏ธ I ventured to the US for my studies and found myself immersed in the world of biology. ๐งฌ๐ฌ With a bachelor's degree in biology and a master's in biomedical science, I dove headfirst into the fascinating realm of biomedical engineering as a PhD candidate. ๐๐ง ๐ป Stem cell biology, bioengineering, and neuroscience captured my attention, igniting my scientific passion like a ๐ฅ. When I'm not tinkering in the lab, I find joy in coding for fun, creating mind-boggling visualizations ๐๐๐คฏ, and analyzing high-dimensional data using machine learning. ๐ฅ๏ธ๐งฉ My love for coding is only rivaled by my enthusiasm for the art of fencing ๐คบ, capturing moments through photography ๐ธ, and appreciating the richness of African art ๐จ๐. Music plays a major role in my life, and I find solace in the soulful melodies of jazz and blues ๐ท๐ถ. As a self-proclaimed coffee snob โ, I take pleasure in savoring the perfect cup of joe โ, fueling my intellectual pursuits.
