Research Interests
I'm researching about biodiversity and variation pattern on the genome by use of Population Genetics and evolution simulation. Specifically, I'm trying to apply and transform the theory of Population Genetics for the ecology of species interested, and verify the result through the simulation. Also, I'm interested in connecting microevolution and macroevoution in the single frame of evolutionary theory.
