Research Themes

Venta’s research aligns to the University’s research theme of Data, Knowledge and Decisions. Her current research focus is in phylogenetics; specifically, the application of techniques from algebra and representation theory to the efficient computation of evolutionary distance for circular genomes. This work models the evolution of organisms such as bacteria via rearrangement models; recent progress incorporates the symmetry of the genomes and the models into a unified framework. Venta has a parallel research thread in the area of aperiodic order, which is the mathematical setting for the study of physical structures such as quasicrystals, and utilises aspects of measure theory, harmonic analysis, and almost-periodicity.

Collaboration

Venta’s research projects in the two broad streams of phylogenetics and aperiodic order incorporate collaborations with researchers in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Germany.
