Research interests

Discovering, designing and building statistical models that better population and planet health through:

  • Variable selection and feature extraction solutions for large and complex data
  • Statistical model building for better and more accurate prediction
  • Correlated, clustered and complex data analysis
  • Classification and improved prediction methods for multiplatform data
  • Development of regularization methods for high-dimensional data
  • Resampling-based stability information
  • Robust selection and estimation methods including when data contains outliers, errors or some of the information is missing
  • Analysis of multi-layered and structured data in bioinformatics, microbiome, organ transplant and neuroscience applications
