Research Expertise:
Biomedical Research | Statistical Methods for Genetic Mapping | Genetic Risk Factors | Complex Human Diseases
My research focuses on identifying genetic risk factors contributing to complex human diseases including cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, in addition to designing and analyzing high-throughput genomic data. I am also interested in developing statistical procedures motivated by questions arising in biological research; in particular, developing multiple testing procedures to address the problem of multiplicity in high-dimensional data analysis.
