About me

I am a Tenure Track Fellow in Health at the University of Liverpool, UK, working in the Signal Processing Group of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Electronics. I am interested in designing Bayesian scalable models for the evolution of genomes and diseases, with special interest in microbes of potential clinical interest. I used to be the Head of Phylogenomics at the Quadram Institute Bioscience (QIB) in Norwich, UK, where I developed, implemented, and streamlined computational methods for the evolutionary analysis of microbial data sets.

Previously I was a postdoctoral researcher working on Evolutionary Genomics at the Dessimoz Group in the University of Lausanne, where I was also affiliated to the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics. I have also postdoctoral experience working with Hyperspectral Data Analysis at the Stevens Group of Imperial College London, and with Phylogenomics at David Posada’s Lab of the University of Vigo. I did my Ph.D. on Bayesian Phylogenetics at the Laboratory of Biometry and Bioinformatics of the University of Tokyo, under the supervision of Prof. Hirohisa Kishino.

Leonardo.De-Oliveira-Martins (at liverpool.ac.uk)

Since we still struggle with international names: my first name is Leonardo and my surname/family name is de Oliveira Martins. I don’t have a middle name.
