I have formal training in pure mathematics (several complex variables). Since 2006 I have been doing computational biology/bioinformatics/biostatistics research of a variety of types. I am particularly interested in statistics and statistical tests, as applied to real biological and medical problems.From 2010 to 2014, my main focus was on designing and implementing clinical studies, and helping develop the environment for clinical research within the Department of Surgery at Scott & White.Since 2014 I have been in the Department of Preventive Medicine and Population Health, at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston. I collaborate closely with orthopedic surgeons and residents on their research. I have also developed a robust research program around lower extremity complications of diabetes, with collaborators at UTMB and elsewhere.Alongside my research, I teach graduate students biostatistics, and have administrative roles in Department of Preventive Medicine and Population Health, the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, and the MD/PhD Combined Program.Specialties: Lower extremity complications of diabetes, statistical analysis of biological/medical data, computational systems biology, computational genomics, bioinformatics,
