• Research Interests:

  I am interested in using DNA marker information to reconstruct
  the pedigree of natural and newly domesticated populations. I am
  interested as well in developing statistical models applicable to
  Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) mapping in outbred tree pedigrees,
  with the development of Marker Assisted Selection strategies as
  a long-term goal.
