Don't Count on Poisson!
While popular, the Poisson distribution is not always an appropriate choice to model count data. Statistical methods have been broadened to model dispersed count data, through the use of the Conway-Maxwell-Poisson distribution.
Proteomic Data Analysis
Statistical analyses help scientists detect statistically significant differential protein expression and modification (e.g. due to disease onset).
Research Interests
Areas of interest and expertise are in generalized statistical methods involving count data that contain data dispersion; and in image analysis techniques, particularly low-level analyses including preprocessing, normalization, feature detection, and alignment.
