BIO & RESEARCH INTERESTs

I’m an Animal Scientist with an MSc in Genetics and Animal Breeding and a Ph.D. in Animal Sciences (Quantitative Genetics). My research interests include quantitative genetics and its applications in animal breeding. My overarching research interest is understanding the genotype-phenotype map in livestock species using bioinformatics and statistical genetics. I’m interested in better understanding the genetic architecture of economically important traits and applying and developing statistical methods for prediction in the multi-omics era.
