Research Interests

My research focuses on cancer biology, where I integrate multi-omics data with bioinformatics analyses, feature selection strategies, and machine-learning techniques to identify biomarkers for early diagnosis and therapeutic targeting. I am passionate about understanding how evolutionary processes, genetic inheritance, and system heterogeneity shape population dynamics, biodiversity, and biological complexity across spatial and temporal scales.

My long-term goal is to pursue interdisciplinary research by integrating computational, statistical, and experimental approaches and collaborating with experts to address complex biological questions.
