      • Basic understanding of statistics and data analysis
      • Proficiency in both Windows and Unix operating systems, including batch/shell scripting and CLI automation
      • Demonstrated experience with High-Performance Computing (HPC) and distributed computing environments

      Additional Expertise:

      • Machine learning concepts and their applications in chemistry
      • Advanced data analysis and visualization techniques
      • Software development
