Abstract
This study examines the rapid functional and sequence differentiation of a tandemly repeated, species-specific multigene family in Drosophila, providing insights into how gene families evolve and diversify.
Type
Publication
Molecular Biology and Evolution
This work contributed to our understanding of how gene families rapidly evolve and diversify, with implications for understanding genome evolution across species.

Lecturer in Computer Science & Data Science
I am a computational biologist and data scientist bridging artificial intelligence,
evolutionary genomics, and climate-resilient agriculture. My research leverages
cutting-edge machine learning and bioinformatics to address global food security
challenges in the face of rapid climate change. With publications in high-impact
journals including Nature Plants, PNAS, and Genome Research (h-index: 7), I develop
tools and methods that advance both computational science and real-world applications.
