I am a postdoctoral researcher with Matthew Stephens at the University of Chicago.
I received my PhD in Computer Science from the University of California, Berkeley in 2007. I was advised by Michael Jordan, and collaborated with Steven Brenner.
My thesis research involved predicting protein molecular function using the phylogenomics methodology, as encoded in a graphical model.
My current work involves statistical models for improving power to detect expression quantitative trait loci, and predictive models for estimating population structure and admixture.
