Brief Statement of research work

Being a researcher of a multidisciplinary/interdisciplinary field, I have engaged in several research domains in a range of organisms, but my primary and long-term focus is on methods, resources, and software development for pan-genomics. My current research activities include pan-genome analysis, bulk & single-cell sequencing data integration/analyses, genome annotations, diversity analysis, host-pathogen interactions analysis using artificial intelligence (ML/DL), and big-data visualization.
