Lucian Trusca is an MSc student in Information Studies (Data Science) at the University of Amsterdam, where his research sits at the intersection of biological systems and computational methods. Currently, his thesis focuses on exploring multiomics data through prior-informed Graphical LASSO and network diffusion analysis, with the goal of uncovering signatures that differentiate inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) from healthy cohorts, integrating proteomics, metabolomics, genomics, and microbiome data from the UK Biobank into a unified multiplex network. Lucian's broader technical interests span biology, machine learning, and data science, with hands-on experience across diverse projects .
