I am a Research Scientist in the Department of Computing
Science at the University of Alberta.
I received my PhD and M.S. degree in Department of Computing
Science at the
University of Alberta, and B.S. degree from the
Department of Computer Science and Engineering at
Beijing
Institute of Technology
My research areas focus on
viruses (such as AIV, HIV-1, HCV, and FMDV) subtype and
recombination prediction, whole genome based phylogenetic
analysis, cancer bioinformatics through Microarray, bovine
genomics (radiation hybrid maps, linkage maps, haplotyping,
quantitative trait loci association), tag SNP selection and
identification of linked regions through genotype data. My
research interests also include computational biology,
approximation and network protocols and algorithm design.
