Senior🎓
Top SchoolMiao Sun is a professor and evolutionary biologist with 11 years of research experience who combines deep expertise in plant systematics and phylogeny with strong computational skills in R, Python, and Shell. He has led cross-border collaborations and large-scale data assembly projects—contributing to the Tree of Plant Life—during appointments at Huazhong Agricultural University, Aarhus University, the University of Michigan, and US museums. His work spans field sampling, molecular lab work, high-performance phylogenetic reconstruction, and the production of publishable-quality analyses and visualizations. A pragmatic coder, he leverages bioinformatics to turn messy biological strings and numeric data into reproducible reports and manuscripts. Notably, his visiting fellowship at Michigan helped bridge international teams and accelerated building large phylogenies for the PhyloSynth project. Based in Wuhan, he brings a rare blend of hands-on molecular practice and scalable computational workflows to biodiversity and diversification studies.
