Liang Xu

I specialize in understanding complex systems in ecology and evolution.
My research encompasses species interactions, the formation of morphological traits,
and the mechanisms that sustain trait diversity and biodiversity, particularly among coexisting species.
To address these questions, I develop and apply theoretical and simulation modeling,
phylogenetic comparative methods, and statistical analysis.
Additionally, I have a strong interest in leveraging machine learning to explore biological
and genetic phenomena, particularly the associations between genotype and phenotype.
