Research Associate, Australian National University
Nhan Ly-Trong received his Ph.D. from the Australian National University (ANU) in 2024. He holds a Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Networks and Communications (2016) and a Master’s degree in Computer Science (2019), both from the University of Information Technology – Vietnam National University-HoChiMinh City. After completing his Ph.D., he continued his work at the Computational Phylogenomics Lab at ANU as a Research Associate in August 2024. For more information, please have a look at his ORCID profile.
His research interests span both Computer Science and Bioinformatics, consisting of Phylogenetics, Machine Learning, and High Performance Computing. He is now focusing on developing new effective methods for phylogenetic inference to deal with challenges from big biological data sets.
Reviewer for various scientific journals, such as Bioinformatics; Systematic Biology; and Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution.
