Interests
Computational models and algorithms in: • Genome Assembly and Metagenomics Analysis • Comparative Genomics and Phylogeny Reconstruction • Computational Proteomics and Analytical Chemistry • Network Analysis and Data Management
Research
My research focuses on computational biology, an interdisciplinary area at the intersection of computer science and biology. The explosion of genomics and proteomics data in the last two decades has created new opportunities and computational challenges to gain new biological insights. My research aims to seize the opportunities and to design new models and algorithms to address the computational challenges for interpreting complex biological datasets. I am drawn to three major areas where I can solve fundamental problems in both biology and algorithms. Please visit our group website https://cgg-anu.github.io for more information.
