🧭 The Bigger Picture

I am interested in computational approaches that connect multiple scales of biology:

Genome → Variation → Evolution → Phenotype → Population → One Health

The long-term goal is to develop open, interpretable, and scalable computational approaches that transform genomic data into biological and translational insights.
