Education:
Ph.D. in computational fluid dynamics, Peking University, 2000;
M.S. in fluid dynamics, Peking University, 1997;
B.S. in engineering mechanics, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, 1992.
Research interests:
Research in the Zhu lab is currently centered at developing bioinformatics methods and tools for basic biomedicine studies. Recently methodology development includes gene finding algorithms for prokaryotes and eukaryotes, gene calling and sequence assembly in metagenomic shotgun reads. The lab also focuses on the regulatory mechanisms studies based on genome sequence and chip data analysis, comparative genomics, molecular evolution, and protein molecular dynamic simulation.
Academic Work experiences:
Since 2003, Peking University;
2007-2008, Visiting researcher of the University of Helsinki, Finland;
2001-2002, Postdoc. Peking University
