Summary

My current research area is the application of Bayesian inference to problems in population genetics and ecology. So far I have focused mainly on problems of population structure and pedigree reconstruction.

Projects

• Bayesian inference and population structure
• Multi-locus dynamics

• Statistical Genomics
• Statistical Research
