Research

My research interests are in statistical genetics, including the estimation of phylogenetic trees from nucleotide sequence data, linkage and QTL analysis, and the analysis of microarray data. My research in the area of phylogenetics is supported by grants from the National Science Foundation [1][2].

I have significant ongoing collaborations with Dr. Julie Wilder of Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute in the areas of QTL and microarray analysis and with Dr. Bill Beavis of the National Center for Genome Resources in the area of microarrays. I also collaborate with Dr. Anne Stone (Anthropology Department at Arizona State University) on phylogenetics and linkage studies.



Professional Service

I have recently become an Associate Editor for the journal Systematic Biology, and was also elected to the Council for the Society of Systematic Biology beginning in 2008.
