My research interests
I am an evolutionary geneticist with a focus on Population Genetics. I am the principle investigator of the Evolutionary and Population Genomics lab at Institute of Zoology (IoZ), Chinese Academy of Sciences. I focus on using evolutionary and statistical approaches in understanding many interesting evolutionary processes. In particular, we are interested in understanding how adaptive evolution has driven the success of many model and non-model systems.
