• Personal information

I am currently a Research Scientist in NCCU BRITE from August 2017. Prior to joining NCCU, I was a joint postdoctoral fellow in NCSU PHHI. My research focuses on genetics and genomics of small fruits and vegetable crops (e.g., blueberries, black raspberries, and carrots). Prior to joining PHHI, I worked on various genome sequencing projects. https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=YQULw0EAAAAJ&hl=en
