Current research: 

Research Area: Genomics & Bioinformatics

My research intersects advances in high throughput DNA sequencing and bioinformatics analyses to identify and understand genome structural rearrangements. With a focus on microbial genomes and microbiomes, I am interested in improving data quality, turn around time to results, and reduced costs.
