I finished my PhD in Bioinformatics at the University of Melbourne focusing on developing algorithms for metagenomic sequence analysis.

After my PhD, I spent a few years travelling around northern China and worked there before coming back to Australia. I took up a few positions during my time in Beijing China. I worked in Microsoft Beijing as a Software Development Engineer; in a software company as a Business Analyst; and my last job there was working in Monsanto as a Bioinformatics Scientist focusing on developing genomic visualisation tools and later as a Collaboration Data Manager to handle all sequences and phenotypic data generated by Monsanto’s collaborators in China.

Then in early 2011, I joined Dave Edwards’ applied bioinformatics group in UQ. Since then, I have intensively worked with various NGS data. Following Dave's relocation to UWA in 2015, I have also moved from UQ to UWA.


My research interest is in NGS data management, analysis and visualisation, bioinformatics tool and pipeline development, and machine learning.
