Title: Understanding microbial communities through in situ omics data synthesis.
Biography/Abstract:
Dr Umer Zeeshan Ijaz is a Reader in Information Engineering in University of Glasgow (UoG) since 2012, and was previously a NERC Omics Fellow, LKAS Leadership Fellow, and an InnovateUK (Unilever) Research Fellow. He leads on in situ omics data analytics for microbiome research in diverse environments with his expertise in numerical ecology and machine learning. He has been developing scientific software and engineered systems for over 23 years, with background as follows: B.Eng. (2000; Computer Systems Engineering; GIKI Institute, Pakistan); MS.Eng. (2003; Artificial Intelligence; GIKI Institute, Pakistan); PhD.Eng (2008; Inverse Problems in Engineering; JNU South Korea); PDRA (2008-2011; Medical Imaging; University of Cambridge); and Senior PDRA (2011-2012; Network Inference; University of Oxford) prior to joining the University of Glasgow. His detailed portfolio along with video demos of notable projects can be found at http://userweb.eng.gla.ac.uk/umer.ijaz. In recognition of his research, he also holds honorary appointments here at the University of Galway, as well as at the University of Liverpool.Dr Ijaz will give an overview of his research and discuss some recent analytical approaches is using to understand ecological assembly of microbial communities, whether they are driven by chance or by biotic or abiotic influences. He will also discuss important topics such as microbiome stability and complexity. Some of these are discussed in his recent review paper: Trego et al. 2022. DOI:10.3390/microorganisms10101961.
