About
I am an associate professor of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Connecticut. My research interests are in computational biology and bioinformatics, with an emphasis on computational phylogenetics and comparative genomics. More generally, I am interested in algorithms and combinatorial optimization. I lead the computational biology research group where we develop new computational methods, efficient algorithms, and powerful software tools to help answer fundamental biological questions.
