Thomas Holzweber

Doctoral student in the AgriGenomics programme at BOKU University. My research focuses on computational plant genomics, particularly genome assembly and annotation, genomic variation, epigenomics, and machine-learning applications in genomics.

I am always happy to connect, so please feel free to contact me about my research, potential collaborations, or related questions.
