My research interests are in metagenomics and organismal genomics. I also have interests in evolutionary and population genomics. During doctoral studies at the University of Oxford, I investigated the genetics of human susceptibility to tuberculosis and malaria.
 
 
 
I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the School of Land, Crop and Food Sciences,University of Queensland, Australia, working on bioinformatics and metagenomics.
 
 
 
 
 
More specifically, I am interested in:
 
*Identification and characterisation of repetitive elements in genomes
 
 
 
*Phylogeny and evolution of transposable elements in the Brassicaceae
 
 
 
*Coral metagenomics
 
 
 
*Canola-associated soil metagenomics
 
 
 
*Host-pathogen co-evolution in blackleg disease (a fungal disease of canola and other land crops)
 
 
 
*Host-pathogen co-evolution in tuberculosis
 
 
 
*The genomics of longevity in Teleosts
