Research Interests
Developing and applying novel statistical methods to increase understanding of biological mechanisms underlying complex diseases, and studing the pattern and determinants of disease in human population. The primary foci of current research include:
- Functional data analysis for time series and longitudinal data, and its applications to oncology, proteomics and epidemiology
- Statistical genetics in admixture mapping, copy number variation, recombination hotspot identification, genome-wide association study and next-generation sequencing data
- Nonparametric Bayes and Bayesian variable selection for large-scale and high-dimensional complex data
