Dear AI/ML Community,
I hope this message finds you well.
My name is Mustafa Al-Saffar, and I am currently pursuing a PhD in computational biology. My research focuses on applying deep learning techniques to analyze human DNA sequences — a computationally intensive task that demands substantial GPU resources.
At present, I am using the Google Cloud Free Tier, which unfortunately does not allow access to GPU instances. Despite enabling billing, my quota for GPUs across all regions remains at zero, creating a major bottleneck in my work.
Given the urgency of academic timelines and the nature of the models I need to train, I am reaching out to the AI/ML community for advice or support. If anyone has experience navigating quota limitations on GCP as a researcher or has suggestions for academic-friendly resources, I would be deeply grateful.
I'm happy to share more details about my project, which intersects machine learning and genomics, and I welcome any leads, collaborations, or advice.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
Warm regards,
Mustafa Al-Saffar
