I came to Georgia Tech in 2010 to pursue a PhD degree in Bioinformatics. I have been working in Dr. Mark Borodovsky's research group since then. My research is focused on developing algorithms and stochastic models to facilitate ab initio gene prediction, especially for sequences with high level of heterogeneity such as metagenomic sequences, transcriptomic data, metagenomes, etc. I like machine learning and data mining. I am also a big fan of ballroom and salsa dance!
