Bio/Research
My lab works on a wide variety of problems at the interface of Statistics and Genetics. We often tackle problems where novel statistical methods are required, or can learn something new compared with existing approaches. Thus, much of our research involves developing new statistical methodology, many of which have a non-trivial computational component. And because data sets are getting larger and larger our work often involves modern methods for "high-dimensional statistics". Our work often makes extensive use of Bayesian hierarchical models to borrow information across data sets or sampling units.
