PhD, University of California, Davis, 2007.

I am an assistant professor at Computer Science and Engineering Department, University of Connecticut. My research is on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics. Currently, my research is mainly on computational problems in population genomics. I am also interested in other problems including phylogenetics and high-throughput sequencing. Here is a brief bio of myself.
