Research Interests
My current research is primarily focused on statistical methods with
applications to biological problems, especially in the areas of
bioinformatics and genetics. Current projects include data
analysis for expression microarrays, statistical methods related
to genomic tiling microarrays, and gene category based expression
profiling. I am also interested in the general
aspects of statistical methodology and their
applications; topics include empirical likelihood, general
estimating equations, nonparametric regression, and missing
data.
