About Me

Hello!

I'm Guy Schndrig, a data scientist at the Federal Food Safety and Veterinary Office (FSVO), where I work in the Data Competence Center (DCC) together with Martin Hertach.

My work focuses on analysing the use of antibiotics in animals, as well as developing specialised analytical solutions and data products for the FSVO.

Over the past several years, I have contributed to the development of data pipelines and integrations for the FSVO Dashboard, with the goal of publishing open government data products. This includes the monitoring of avian influenza (HPAI) and bluetongue (BT), as well as a more public example: the data integration pipeline, which converts the Swiss plant protection product registry into RDF-linked data.

Previously, I worked as a researcher at the Veterinary Public Health Institute and as a scientific associate in the Veterinary Medicines Unit of the FSVO under the supervision of Dagmar Heim.

I earned a Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences from the University of Bern under the supervision of Gertraud Regula-Schüpbach, further deepening my expertise in epidemiology and public health. I also completed a CAS in Applied Data Science at the Mathematical Institute of the University of Bern, where I gained expertise in machine learning and data-driven decision-making. During my Ph.D., I specialised in public health sciences through the PHS Course Program at the University of Bern.

For my master's degree, I studied biology with a focus on genetics and biostatistics at the Institute of Ecology and Evolution, University of Bern. During my studies, I had the opportunity to work with Laurent Excoffier, Stephan Peischl, and Gerald Heckel, investigating the population genetics of Tula hantavirus in the common vole (Microtus arvalis).
