Research Interests.

The primary research goals in my lab are to better understand the genomic and evolutionary factors shaping patterns of human variation and to test models of human origins. The human genome holds clues to the mystery of human origins. With the recent completion of the first draft of the human genome sequence we are now in a position to examine patterns of variation across the entire genome in multiple human populations. Such an undertaking will facilitate an understanding of events that took place tens of thousands of years ago, and the better design of studies to map genes involved in human disease today.

Research Interests.

My research interests lie primarily in reconstructing human demographic history using inherited genetic markers. Any two people can be distinguished by minor differences in the DNA they receive from their parents. By observing these genetic variants in people living today, we can infer biological relationships and patterns of mobility far back in prehistory.

Research Interests.

Human populations occupy a wide array of environments, including tropical rain forests, arid deserts, arctic tundra, and high altitude mountain ranges. Their success across this diverse range of conditions has been facilitated by both biological and cultural adaptations. In my research I am interested in identifying the footprints of adaptation in the human genome...

Research Interests My interests lie at the point of intersection of multiple fields: where phylogenetics and population genetics approaches can inform questions of recent speciation, where coalescent approaches can help to discriminate among biogeographic hypotheses, and where molecular ecology and simulation-based analyses can discriminate among demographic scenarios.

Research Interests.

I am interested broadly in population genetics and its application to understanding demography, natural selection and phenotypic differences in humans populations. My approach involves the study of theory and development of statistical methods to test hypotheses on selection and demography. I am particularly interested in local adaptation and the spread of beneficial mutations...

Research Interests

I am interested in the applications of probability and statistics to problems that arise in genomics. The Kingman coalescent has revolutionized the way DNA sequence data is analyzed. Further generalizations and modifications of the coalescent, such as the Ancestral Recombination Graph (ARG) are necessary in order to model regions of the genome that are being sequenced today, such as autosomal regions where recombination is taking place. Efficient algorithms are necessary to infer evolutionary parameters in a reasonable amount of time.

Current Research

My current research involves the implementation of different demographic models within the ARG, and the development of statistical methods using Importance Sampling and other tools to able to determine the evolutionary processes that generated the present day human DNA sequence.

Research Interests

My Interests are applying and extending machine learning methods for their use in population genetics. My work involves Kernel machines, discriminative and generative methods for classification and how they can successfully be applied for ancestry prediction.

Part of my research involves applying and developing feature selection methods for several classification tasks involving genetic data, in way that improves the prediction power of a classifier and/or having a better understanding of the process of interest.
