About me

I am a Graduate Student (PhD scholar) in the field of Bioinformatics at Complex & Adaptive Systems Laboratory (CASL) and Conway Institute of Biomolecular & Biomedical Research, University College Dublin (UCD), Ireland. I started my PhD in April, 2006 under the supervision of Prof. Denis Shields and Dr. Jean-Marc JacquƩ. I have worked as Bioinformatics Research Fellow from July 2003 to March 2006 under the supervision of Prof. Francisco Rodriguez-Valera and Dr. Alex Mira at Evolutionary Genomics Group, Universidad Miguel Hernandez, Alicante, Spain.

I have a Bachelor of Technology degree in Electrical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, India. After degree I worked as Bioinformatics Software Developer at Institute of Genomics & Integrative Biology (IGIB), Delhi, India for one and half year under the supervision of Prof. Sameer K. Brahmachari (Director General of Council of Industrial & Scientific Research). My hobbies are surfing internet, playing cricket, table tennis (ping-pong), lawn tennis and chess. In my free time I try to update my personal homepage available at http://www.pushker.org.


Research Interests

My research interests include Comparative Genomics, Genome Evolution, Gene Families, Phylogeny, Horizontal Gene Transfer, HIV, Short Linear Motifs. I like programming in C, PERL and PHP. I am experienced with MySQL database.
