Research
Interests:
My research interests concentrate on computational modeling and
analysis of biological processes, with emphases on hypothesis and
theory-driven questions that are enabled by large-scale data analysis
using (but not limited to) graph theoretical and algorithmic approaches. I frequently look at these processes
through evolutionary lenses, focusing on evolutionary forces that shaped
biomolecules on sequence, structure, and network levels. I am particularly interested in the
dynamical properties of biological systems including spatial, temporal
and/or contextual variation and exploring how such variations are
impacting gene expression, how they affect network topology, function,
and the phenotype of the organism.
