Qiyun Zhu |

I am an Assistant Professor at the School of Life Sciences, Arizona State University, starting from August 2020. Prior to this appointment, I completed postdoctoral training at UC San Diego with Dr. Rob Knight. My academic background is multidisciplinary, with research experience and interest in bioinformatics, phylogenetics, microbiology, comparative genomics and molecular biology. I study both computational and biological questions, and strive to expand understanding of the microbial world through its multiple levels: genes, genomes, lineages, communities, hosts, and environments. <br /><br /> [<i class='fa fa-envelope-square fa-2x'></i>](mailto:Qiyun.Zhu@asu.edu) [<i class='ai ai-google-scholar-square ai-2x'></i>]( https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=mjkV0pUAAAAJ) [<i class='ai ai-orcid-square ai-2x'></i>]( http://orcid.org/0000-0003-0490-1175) [<i class='fab fa-github-square fa-2x'></i>]( https://github.com/qiyunzhu/) [<i class='fab fa-linkedin fa-2x'></i>]( https://www.linkedin.com/in/qiyunzhu/) [<i class='ai ai-cv-square ai-2x'></i>](assets/files/QiyunZhu_CV_Aug2020.pdf)

I am a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Center for Fundamental and Applied Microbiomics at the Biodesign Institute located at Arizona State University. Before joining the Qiyun Lab, I completed my dissertation work under the tutelage of [Dr. Ferran Garcia-Pichel]( http://garcia-pichel.lab.asu.edu/labo/) where I examined endolithic phototrophs and their accompanying microbiomes. My (micro)biological training has spanned a wide range of topics including synthetic biology, microbial fuel cells, industrial applications of anaerobic extremophiles, and extreme environmental microbiomes. Most recently, I have led the development of databases and tools to help with rapid analysis of environmental microbiomes ([Cydrasil]( https://github.com/FGPLab/cydrasil)). My current research goals are focused on developing and adapting new technologies for use in microbiome analysis and making those new tools easily accessible for every scientist. <br /><br /> [<i class='fa fa-envelope-square fa-2x'></i>](mailto:dwroush@asu.edu) [<i class='ai ai-google-scholar-square ai-2x'></i>]( https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=oNXQvWkAAAAJ) [<i class='ai ai-orcid-square ai-2x'></i>]( https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8025-2117) [<i class='fab fa-github-square fa-2x'></i>]( https://github.com/droush) [<i class='fab fa-linkedin fa-2x'></i>]( https://www.linkedin.com/in/dwroush/) [<i class='ai ai-cv-square ai-2x'></i>](assets/files/roush-cv-aug-2020-qiyun-lab.pdf)

I will join Qiyun lab in the 2021 Fall for my Ph.D. research. I am a biologist with a multidisciplinary background, which has shaped my interests at the interface of evolution, bioinformatics, microbiology, and systems biology. Currently, I am Bioinformatics and Computational Biology master's student in Spain, and I am working on a research project that focuses on the network analysis of deep sequencing data to understand the adaptive responses of viral populations to varying environments under the supervision of [Dr. Susanna Manrubia.]( https://auditore.cab.inta-csic.es/manrubia/) <br /><br /> [<i class='fa fa-envelope-square fa-2x'></i>](mailto:hsecaira@asu.edu) [<i class='fab fa-github-square fa-2x'></i>]( https://github.com/HSecaira) [<i class='fab fa-linkedin fa-2x'></i>]( https://www.linkedin.com/in/henry-secaira-morocho-7a080a146) [<i class='ai ai-cv-square ai-2x'></i>](assets/files/Secaira_Henrry_CV.pdf)

I am an undergraduate student majoring in Biological Science (Genetics, Cell and Developmental Biology) and Global Health. I am a new member of the Qiyun lab. I am interested to learn about microbiology and bioinformatics. I am still exploring possible future careers with an interest in biomedical science. Currently, I am assisting Daniel with the Cydrasil project. <br /><br /> [<i class='fa fa-envelope-square fa-2x'></i>](mailto:zxing16@asu.edu) [<i class='fab fa-github-square fa-2x'></i>]( https://github.com/Zhu288) [<i class='fab fa-linkedin fa-2x'></i>]( https://www.linkedin.com/in/zhu-xing-a734661b5/) [<i class='ai ai-cv-square ai-2x'></i>](assets/files/Zhu_Xing_resume2021.pdf)
