Career Overview:

My research is in the areas of statistical genetics, genomics and bioinformatics. Motivated by scientific needs in these area and new technologies, I am undertaking both methodological and collaborative research. A major focus of my research is on developing and evaluating model-based methods to analyze genetics and genomics data, in particular, next generation sequencing data, and on developing software so that the methods can be easily adopted by the research community.
