On the Ph.D. program, in his words:
“BB H is a very flexible program that is tailored to the individual. It has allowed me to be creative and to develop my own ideas.”
Current areas of professional interest are:
Development and application of statistical methods for mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) with temporally varying effects in time-to-failure (survival) experiments. Development and application of QTL mapping algorithms for selectively genotyped data.
