Research Fellow · ANU
Nhan Ly-Trong, PhD
Research Fellow in Computational Phylogenomics at the Australian National University.
I work at the intersection of computer science and bioinformatics, with a focus on phylogenetics, machine learning, and high-performance computing. My current research develops effective methods for phylogenetic inference on large biological datasets.
