Education and Employment
Research InterestI am interested in a wide range of topics in plant evolution, especially crop evolution under the human-altered environment. My research has involved in wild and crop plant population genetics, genomics, QTL mapping, phylogeography and plant gene family evolution. I am also interested in topics like comparative genomics, transcriptomics, local adaptation, crop domestication, weed and invasive species evolution, bioinformatics, hybridization, phylogeny and ecological niche modeling.
