Louxin Zhang is a Canadian
semigroup theory in mathematics. In addition, he is recognized for his work on the mathematical understanding of phylogenetic trees and networks, as well as the analysis of spaced seeds for sequence comparison in bioinformatics.[2]
Early life
Louxin Zhang grew up in Luoyang, Henan, China. He graduated from Lanzhou University with an undergraduate degree in mathematics and a master's degree in mathematics. Then he proceeded to Canada to pursue a doctorate in computer science at the University of Waterloo, where he earned his Ph.D. in Computer Science with a thesis entitled "Emulations and Embeddings of Meshes of Trees and Hypercubes of Cliques.[1][3][4]
Career
After postdoctoral research in the laboratory of
gene loss, gene duplication, and incomplete lineage sorting costs. Along with his colleagues, he developed the tree component decomposition method for studying phylogenetic networks.[9] The technique yields a solution to an open problem regarding tree containment, the exact and asymptotic counting of the so-called tree-child networks, and a scalable method for inferring the minimum phylogeny. He also contributed to the theoretical knowledge of spaced seeds for sequence comparison and reconstruction of ancestral genome sequences.[10]
