Research Interests:

I work with Rob Tibshirani on machine learning (penalized regression and classification), efficient algorithms in high dimensional spaces, and other whimsical creatures which strike our fancy, with specific interest in applications to biological and medical problems. I am interested in building and applying tools to better understand the interplay of SNPs/gene expression/protein expression/mutations with diseases and treatments...

and while my research lies largely in those areas, I am also interested in applications of group theory in statistics.
