Research
I am currently a post-doctoral scholar working with Matthew Stephens at the University of Chicago. I received my PhD, which focused on developing statistical tools for analysing data generated to examine copy number variation, in 2007 from the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) at the University of Cambridge under the supervision
of Simon Tavaré.
My primary research interest is using statistical methods to understand gene regulation. I am especially interested in developing methods for analyzing data generated from ultra high-throughput sequencing technologies, in particular RNA-seq, which describes the use of high-throughput sequencing to interrogate the transcriptome.
I am interested in applications ranging from investiations of gene regulatory mechanisms and gene evolution in primates to studies that use these technologies to make inferences about cancer.
