• Research Interests:

  • Frequency domain time series and point processes, with applications to the
    study of sealevel, and prediction of flood risk.
  • Statistical genetics: inference methods for quantitative trait loci, including
    finite mixture models.
  • Pedigree estimation
  • Clinical trials
