About

BSc(Hon), PhD

Sha (Joe) Zhu

I am a lead statistical programming analyst and lead software engineer at Roche. My daily job involves a wide range of data analysis activities in the pharmaceutical industry and developing software packages to support other data scientists at Roche.

Before joining Roche, I was a Senior Data Scientist at Sensyne Health. I also worked as a research associate at the Oxford Big Data Institute, where my job mainly focused on malaria parasite genomes and statistical genomic research using a lot of coalescent theory. On the side, I also worked as a research consultant at BGI, where I contributed and developed methods for data storage using DNA.

I love programming! Check out some of the open-source tools I build at the Software page.
