实验室信息

I am a professor in the Department of Crop and Soil Sciences at Washington State University (WSU). I have a multidisciplinary background with two Ph.D. degrees, one in Statistical Genetics and one in Animal Breeding. Since 2005, I have published over 100 peer-reviewed articles and received over 21,000 citations with an h-index of 48 (Google Scholar). My research focus is the development of innovative statistical methods and computing tools to advance genomic and phenomic research toward the sustainability of food production and healthcare management. The outputs include widely-used software, including TASSEL, GAPIT, FarmCPU, BLINK, MMAP, GRID, GridFree, and AI4Everyone. Since joining WSU in 2014, I have received 14 grants from a variety of sources, including WSU, Murdock Foundation, USDA, NSF, and DOE, which total $3M in direct funding for my lab plus $5M in funding for collaborative research. In 2015, I developed a graduate-level course in Statistical Genomics, which I have taught for six cycles. I am recognized as an academic editor (PLoS One), journal reviewer (Nature Genetics, Nature Methods, and PLoS Genetics), and grant panelist (USDA, NSF, Canadian Alberta Innovates, BBSRC, and Swiss National Science Foundation). I was invited to write a review on software engineering for Briefings in Bioinformatics and two articles for Plant Breeding Reviews. I have been invited to give presentations and workshops in multiple countries, including the US, Canada, Sweden, the UK, France, Thailand, and China. Since 2018, I have been the workshop organizer for the annual international Conference of Plant and Animal Genome. In 2021, I received CAHNRS’ Early Career Excellence Award at WSU.
