Hi there👋. My name is Jianshu (canonically pronounced as Jyen-shoo) Zhao, a computational microbiologist (or software engineer for microbes) at University of California, San Diego. My primary research interest is to apply probabilistic data structures (e.g., SimHash/MinHash and UltraLogLog) and machine learning algorithms to solve problems in microbiome, microbial genomics, genomics and metagenomics. I am also interested in high performance computing for large-scale biological problems. I am a Rustacean 🦀. I am the main developer of several software packages such as GSearch, annembed, DartUniFrac,TurboANI(a 50 times faster fastANI alternative), BinDash 2, graphembed, lash, BigSig, Striped_UniFrac, dotANI and Granne. I am also maintaining several Rust libraries, including rust-diskann, DartMinHash-rs, probminhash, UltraLogLog, ExaLogLog, SuperBit, fpcoa and streaming_algorithms. More information about me here. I am also interested in multi-omics data analysis (e.g., metatranscriptomics, metaproteomics and metabolomics) for environmental microbiology & microbial ecology.

Life is short; make your code fast!
I am a fan of Rust. Go Ferris!
