Research Focus
My research interests are in quantitative genomics and computational biology. My research program focuses on developing and applying methods to dissect the genetic basis of economically relevant traits in livestock. We combine large, nationwide phenotypic datasets or field trials with high throughput genomic technologies, and advanced methods to elucidate the connection between genome to phenome. Our research involves gene mapping, genomic prediction, multiomics data integration, and network modeling.
