My PhD research was completed under the supervision of Terry Speed in the Statistics Department at UC Berkeley. My thesis focused on the analysis of high-throughput genomics data, with a particular emphasis on the then-emerging high-throughput DNA sequencing data. Additional projects included applied work in statistical genetics.
For my postdoc, I extended my work in statistical genetics to include methods development for analysis of imputed data in large trio datasets and methods for reducing test multiplicity in case-control settings by leveraging marker correlation structure.
In the years since, I have built on consistent collaborations inside and outside the Department of Biostatistics, with applied work on oral cleft disorders, cardiovascular disease, schizophrenia and asthma, and methods development for DNA methylation data and variant calling.
