About me

Hello, my name is Mpho Mafata. I use this site to version instructional scripts I use most frequently and those used for generating publications, tutorials and workshop material. I work in interdisciplinary environments with very different types of data (structured and unstructured).

I have technical skills in separation sciences (chromatography), analytical chemistry (mass spectrometry, UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy), wet lab/preparatory chemistry (sample preparation of organic compounds and natural products), oenology (winemaking and sensory analysis), scientometrics (patent statistics), and multivariate data analysis (MDS, MCA, PCA, MFA).

I love research on the applications of Data Science in the fields: Analytical Chemistry, Biotechnology, Sensory evaluation, Food Science, and Oenology.

Subject Areas

Chromatographic analysis


Unboxing the various structures and complexity in spectral data sets. Read more here

Sensory analysis


Focused on the specifics of sensory and consumer data, their structures, and features. Read more here

Multivariate analysis


Analysing data using multivariate toolboxes. Focused on visualization using combinations of graphs. Read more here

Data science


Analysing data of various structures using SQL, R or Python. Assessing relationships and patterns using fuzzy techniques and network analysis. Read more here

Other useful tools I use
