OverviewAI-generated summary
Sungsik Kong's research integrates amphibian and reptile biology with cutting-edge methods in genomics and phylogenetics. His work informs understanding of genetic diversity, population structure, and species distribution, especially in the context of climate change. Kong's research employs phylogenetic methods to understand biodiversity, as demonstrated by his recent work using anchored hybrid enrichment to resolve the phylogeny of *Lacunicambarus*. He also develops and applies network methods to analyze sequence data, inferring evolutionary relationships. His work has explored the mathematical significance of explicit phylogenetic networks.
Kong is a faculty member at John Brown University. His primary research focus lies at the intersection of evolution, paleontology, and the application of genomic tools to resolve phylogenetic relationships.
