Associate Professor, Australian National University
Minh obtained his B.Sc. in Computer Science (2001) from Vietnam National University, M.Sc. in Applied Computer Science (2005) from the University of Freiburg (Germany) and Ph.D. in Bioinformatics (2009) from the University of Vienna (Austria). After a Postdoc at Max Perutz Labs, he joined the Australian National University (ANU) as a Research Fellow (2018), Lecturer (2019), Senior Lecturer (2021), and Associate Professor (2024).
Minh is the leader of the Computational Phylogenomics Lab. His lab’s research lies at the interface between Computing, Biology and Statistics, with the motto to enable evolutionary research in the genomic era. His lab develops bioinformatic methods and algorithms, statistical models of molecular evolution, and high-performance computing techniques for phylogenetic inference from ultra-large genomic data.
Minh leads an international team that jointly develops the widely used IQ-TREE software. IQ-TREE usages are ranging from reconstructing the tree of life to detecting new variations and key mutations of the coronavirus that caused the COVID-19 pandemic.
His lab has strong collaborations with Research School of Biology, especially with Prof. Robert Lanfear’s lab.
Reviewer for various scientific journals including: Algorithms for Molecular Biology, Applied Mathematics Letters, Bioinformatics, BMC Evolutionary Biology, BMC Bioinformatics, Journal of Mathematical Biology, Journal of Theoretical Biology, Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Molecular Biology and Evolution, PLoS ONE, Systematic Biology, IEEE Transaction on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics.
