Ph.D. candidate in Genetics, Chinese Academy of Sciences
Bioinformatics and crop disease researcher at Yazhouwan National Laboratory, China. My work sits at the interface of computational biology, crop disease resistance, and wheat genetics — translating population genomics, resistance loci, and multi-omics evidence into practical resources for crop disease resistance breeding.
- Crop Disease Resistance — Discovery and interpretation of resistance loci, superior alleles, and candidate genes for wheat yellow rust and related disease systems
- Bioinformatics Platforms — Knowledge resources and analysis workflows for resistance genes, QTL evidence, and breeding information
- Reproducible Visualization — Scientific visualization and reproducible analysis workflows for biomedical and agricultural data
