About me
Serving as an Bioinformatics Engineer/Assistant Researcher at the Agricultural Genomics Institute, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences for 6 years, I've immersed myself in the realms of genomics and population genetics. My pivotal roles have spanned from the development of bioinformatics tools, conducting population genetic analyses on wheat/pea, to gene mining.
Proficient in crafting bioinformatics analysis tools, workflows, and setting up specialized websites. Love to contribute to open sources and tech communities by sharing knowledge and experience. I have an innate interest in devising innovative problem‑solving methodologies for intricate tasks and am always on the hunt to learn and implement new technologies and tools.
