Background Information
I completed my undergraduate and master’s from Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata. I earned my PhD in Biostatistics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2010. I was a postdoctoral fellow in the Biostatistics department at the MD Anderson Cancer Center from 2010-12 and at the University of Texas Austin from 2012-13. I joined University of Louisville in fall 2013. My research is primarily centered around Bayesian hierarchical models. Applications include biological networks, high throughput genomics, and high dimensional clinical data. Recently I have developed an interest in the paradigm of stochastic computational biology and have started working at the intersection of stochastic differential equations and kernel regression.
Research Interests
My primary research interests are in Bayesian Graphical Models and developing hierarchical latent variable techniques for next generation sequencing data. I am currently focussing on network inference problems in epigenetics (histone modifications) and high throughput proteomics. I also have a strong interest in NP-Bayes clustering algorithms. Recently I have been involved in formulating NP-Bayes models for subgroup analysis and clinical trials.
