Speaker Intro
I am Associate Professor at BIMSA. I joined BIMSA in the summer of 2025. My Research area is statistical genetics, where I develop statistical and computational methods, mainly from Bayesian perspective, with targeted applications in genomic studies and genetic diagnosis.
Currently I am working on studying haplotype variation using deep learning models. I am also interested in studying genetic determinants of autism, and early cancer screening.
Member Seminar Intro
The BIMSA member seminar is a weekly event during which researchers engage in discussions about their extensive research interests, addressing a diverse audience that includes fellow researchers and all postdoctoral scholars within the institute. This forum provides a unique privilege and an invaluable opportunity for each research faculty member, serving as a speaker, to introduce their research field, promote the subject within the institute, and ignite the potential for future collaborations with other research groups within the institute.
The lecture format consists of a 30-minute colloquium-style presentation, thoughtfully tailored to be accessible to postdoctoral scholars and researchers from diverse disciplines within the institute. Following the presentation, a 15-minute discussion session is anticipated, involving active participation from postdocs representing various fields.
It is mandatory for all postdocs at the institute to actively participate in this event. The enthusiastic involvement of faculty members is greatly valued and will prove mutually beneficial for both the speaker and the junior audience.
