Associate editor of the Interstices journal.
Main Research Topics
I’m designing models and algorithms for sequencing (NGS & TGS) data.
My interests mainly cover areas of metagenomics and biological information extraction from raw NGS dataset, for non-model species. I lead a project, SeqDigger, which aim is to index genomic datasets.
