Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJia-ming Chang is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science in Taipei with 15 years of experience at the intersection of bioinformatics and computational genomics. Trained at National Tsing Hua University and completing PhD research at the Centre for Genomic Regulation, his work focuses on alignment uncertainty, evolutionary analysis of Drosophila odorant receptor genes from RNA-seq, and prediction of protein functional classes. He brings a rare blend of algorithmic rigor from earlier roles at EBI and Academia Sinica and practical genomics experience from CRG and CNRS postdoctoral research. Known for designing efficient phylogenetic reconstruction methods and probing how alignment artifacts influence evolutionary inference, he combines methodological development with application to real transcriptomic datasets. Based in Taipei, he teaches and mentors while continuing collaborative research bridging computer science and evolutionary biology. Colleagues note his knack for turning alignment consistency questions into scalable tools that inform functional and evolutionary hypotheses.
