Research Interests

I am currently focused on cancer biology, using various omics data and employing various data preprocessing, feature selection, statistical method and machine learning methods to identify cancer biomarkers for early diagnosis and targeted therapies. Additionally, I am passionate about understanding evolutionary principles and genetic inheritance in shaping population genetic dynamics and diversity. I am equally intrigued by the complexity of biological systems, the types of data utilized, various approaches to data integration, and the diverse range of biological problems at different levels, including issues related to system heterogeneity in terms of size and timescale.

My future goals involve interdisciplinary research to address complex biological questions, and I look forward to collaborating with fellow experts in understanding of the biological world.
