Computational Biology, Molecular Evolution, Genomics, Metagenomics
My research is focused on addressing questions in the area of microbial evolution using genomic and metagenomic data. Currently the following research directions are actively explored in the lab:
- Understanding of microbial communities through analyses of vast metagenomic datasets
- Inference of Evolutionary Processes through Phylogenetic Tree Shapes
- Protein Thermoadaptation
- Prokaryotic Genome Organization
- Gene Transfer Agents and their role in Evolution of Prokaryotes
