I finished my PhD in Bioinformatics at the University of Melbourne focusing on developing algorithms for metagenomic sequence analysis.

After my PhD, I spent a few years travelling around northern China and worked there before coming back to Australia. I took up a few positions during my time in Beijing China. I worked in Microsoft Beijing as a Software Development Engineer; in a software company as a Business Analyst; and my last job there was working in Monsanto as a Bioinformatics Scientist focusing on developing genomic visualisation tools and later as a Collaboration Data Manager to handle all sequences and phenotypic data generated by Monsanto’s collaborators in China.

Then in early 2011, I joined Dave Edwards’ group and currently working on several projects in sequence analysis that includes coral, wheat and brassica genomic sequences.

My research interest is in bioinformatics and machine learning.
