Research
My main themes of research are:
Computational Biology, for an introduction to the subject,
you can peruse the links and summaries from the course I teach (in
2012 it will be in the Spring):
computational statistics in genetics.
Computer intensive methods in
multivariate statistics, especially the bootstrap.
I wrote my thesis on the bootstrap for multivariate analyses.
I have a course on the bootstrap, if you are interested
here is the web version of the course notes.
Phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequences.
I have several projects linked to this theme in
project, much introductory material can be found at the web site of
the
course I taught
at Cornell,
here is the material associated
Computer
Intensive methods in Biology.
More recently see my work on using phylogenetics and multivariate
statistics to study the microbiome.
Multivariate Statistics applied to microarray techniques.
I collaborate with several PI's in the medical school on finding
differential expression patterns in genes that are
important in various diseases. For my analyses, I use the
tools made available by the Bioconductor
group.
I came to the US for the first time in
1989 to teach a course on Computational Statistics,
a course I have since taught several times and the notes for which
you can find here: Computational Statistics.
