RESEARCH INTERESTS
I am primarily (but not only) interested in:
- Statistical Genetics: admixture and local ancestry models, polygenic risk scores and how to combine with other predictors, animal genetics, recombination and haplotype modelling.
- Social networks: Animal social networks, fast approximate inference for Bayesian latent variable network models.
