🧬 Research Focus

Research focuses on developing AI- and machine-learning-driven computational genomics approaches for genomic prediction and trait discovery in soybean. The work integrates large-scale genomic data, SNP analysis, genome-wide association studies and predictive machine-learning models to identify genotype–trait associations and candidate genomic regions. Scalable computational and high-performance-computing techniques are explored to efficiently process large genomic datasets. The expected outcome is an intelligent computational framework that supports accurate trait prediction, accelerates candidate-gene discovery, and contributes to data-driven soybean breeding and crop improvement.
