Assistant research professor working with Dassanayake lab.@LSU. I study plant comparative genomics, especially for those found in "extreme" environments a.k.a. extremophytes.

2022-01-10: I presented Phylogenetically informed Profiling (PiP), an attempt to identify functions with lineage(s)-specific GRN modifications, at the "virtual" Plant & Animal Genome Conference (PAGXXIX), Arabidopsis Informatics workshop. (re-recorded talk in preparation)
-
2021-11-28: The first draft genome of Phragmites australis (common reed) was published in Mol Ecol :) Fun collaboration with researchers from Tulane Univ. and USGS. Next: chromosome-level assemblies of both native and invasive (in North America) subspecies and more comparative genomics of Phragmites invasion.
-
Developing tools to systemetically detect lineage(s)-specific modifications in gene copy numbers and gene regulatory networks (GRNs), as a part of a NSF-BSF-EDGE project
-
Comparative genomics of Schrenkiella parvula and Eutrema salsugineum, extreme stress-adapted relatives of Arabidopsis and Brassicaceae crops (e.g. Camelina, canola, and other Brassica crops; see target species), as a part of a multi-institution DOE project
-
Comparative genomics of invasive and native Phragmites australis (common reed) in North America, collaboration w/ Keith Clay (Tulane) and Kurt Kowalski (USGS)
-
Comparative genomics of seagrass Halophila stipulacea and its freshwater relative Vallisneria americana, collaboration w/ Simon Barak and Gidon Winters (Ben Gurion U. of Negev, Israel)
