I am an assistant professor in the Program in Molecular and Genetic Epidemiology in the Department of Epidemiology at HSPH, with a secondary appointment in the Department of Biostatistics.  I am also affiliated with the Program in Quantitative Genomics.  Our research focuses on the development of statistical methods for uncovering the genetic basis of human disease, and on the population genetics underlying these methods.
