Currently I am a postdoc in Dr. Jeramiah Smith's Lab and my research is focused on bioinformatics and more precisely on different computational aspects of new generation sequence analysis. Having my background in applied mathematics and computer science I was fascinated by the complexity of biological systems, that sometimes the most contemporary algorithms and computational resources can not overcome. I am involved in various projects that study the genomes of key vertebrate groups, including studies on genome rearrangements, sturctural variations, inter and inra species variations, sex determination. Because of the complexity and/or huge size of the genomes, traditional computers and approaches do not always work efficiently, so we are looking for alternative solutions, often engaging parallel computations and high performance computers.
