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. Here is a brief bio of myself.

Notice: I am looking for motivated graduate students to work with me on problems in Computational Biology. I prefer students who have background in algorirthms and also know programming, and are interested in solving computational problems in biology. Feel free to contact me if you are interested.

Research Interests

I am broadly interested in solving computational problems in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics using combinatorial or probabilistic approaches. Currently, my research is mainly on computational problems in population genomics. I am also interested in other problems including phylogenetics and high-throughput sequencing.
