Research Interests:

• Computational biology: (1) Statistical models and computational algorithms for detecting transcription factor binding motifs and cis-regulatory modules, emphasizing on the use of combinatorial control and evolutionary conservation information to enhance predictive power. (2) Statistical methodology for integrated analyses of gene expression data, transcription factor binding data (ChIP-chip/seq), and multiple genomic sequence data, with applications to statistical inference of gene regulatory networks in important cellular processes.  
• Monte Carlo methods: Energy-temperature design in population-based Markov chain Monte Carlo methods, exploration and characterization of statistical and topological properties of energy landscapes from Monte Carlo samples, applications in statistics and physics.
• Bayesian statistics: Missing data problems, Bayesian inference, Bayesian hierarchical models.
