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/coalescent theory is supported
by grants from the National Science Foundation [1][2][3].
Previous significant collaborations include work with Dr. Julie Wilder of Lovelace Respiratory
Research Institute in the areas of QTL and microarray analysis; with Dr. Bill Beavis of the National
Center for Genome Resources in the area of microarrays; and with Dr. Anne Stone
(Anthropology Department at Arizona State University) on phylogenetics
and linkage studies. I am currently working with Dr. Veronica Vieland's
group at the Battelle Center for Mathematical Medicine at Nationwide
Children's Hospital.
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.

Students
Note to prospective students: I am accepting Ph.D. students with an
interest in problems in evolutionary genetics. Both students
in Statistics with an interest in this area of application and
students in the Biological Sciences with an interest and
ability in quantitative methods are welcome to contact me.
