We develop new tools to understand diverse types of biological datasets.
A common theme is working to couple the architecture of computational analysis with the understanding of the generative process behind a biological dataset, so that each gives insight into the other. We work on a variety of genomics problems ranging from multi-omics analysis to evolution.
Our collaborations leverage our strong biomedical community
