About
My research is centered on elucidating the genomic and biochemical bases of marker trait association and plant adaptation through a comprehensive multi-omics and machine learning lens. I integrate high-resolution datasets from genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, and phenomics, coupled with advanced bioinformatics and statistical modeling, to dissect the complex molecular architecture underlying adaptive traits. The core focus of my work is understanding how natural variation in plant traits and metabolite profiles is shaped by genomic architecture in response to environmental gradients and climatic pressures. I leverage diverse analytical approaches including whole-genome sequencing, GWAS, TWAS, metabolic pathway analysis, genotype–environment association, and pangenome analyses to pinpoint the genetic determinants and regulatory circuits that govern phenotypic plasticity and ecological resilience. This integrative systems biology approach enables a mechanistic understanding of plant adaptation by linking molecular variation to economically important traits, physiological function, and ecological outcomes.
