At the Bioinformatics and Computational Genomics Group, we develop combinatorial algorithms to analyze genomic sequence data focusing on algorithms for pangenomics, de novo genome assembly, and discovery of structural variation. We also work on hardware/software co-design and heterogeneous computing to accelerate computational workloads using processing-in-memory, GPU, NPU, and FPGA.
