RESEARCH
-
Currently, my area of research interest is Statistical Genetics. The goal of the research groups I am working with is to identify genes susceptible to complex human diseases (such as Alzheimer's disease, autistic disorder, or cardio-vascular diseases). To accomplish this goal there is a need for statistical analyses and for developing new more powerful statistical methods.
I am also interested in Graph Theory and Combinatorics, especially Extremal Set Theory, Probabilistic Combinatorics, and Ramsey Theory.
