Research Groups

Statistical Genetics:

Field, Susko, Hong Gu (PDF) are working on problems in phylogenetics with researchers in the Department of Biochemistry. Graduate students in this area are Bo Lin (M.Sc. completed Sept 2001), Xiaofei Shi (M.Sc., completed Sept 2001), Xiaofei Shi (Ph.D.),

Ed Susko and Hong Gu are developing methods for analysis of gene chip data.

Herbinger and Smith are working on QTL analysis for outbred populations, together with Om Rajora in the Department of Biology, Yong Song Qin (PDF) and Bo Lin (PhD).

Herbinger, Smith and Field are working on pedigree reconstruction from DNA marker data in natural populations.

Hamilton is working on problems in human genetics with David Cole at the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology at UoT, and with Andrew Orr of the Department of Ophthalmology, Dalhousie.

Michele Millar (Ph.D.) is working on the estimation of breeding values in natural populations.

Patricia Moorehead (Ph.D.) is working on estimation of mixed stocks in fisheries.

Time Series:

Thompson and Smith work on frequency domain time series problems, with applications to oceanography. Hamilton works on time domain time series.

Mei Yang (M.Sc.) is working on GARCH modeling, and Takayoshi Ikeda (M.Sc.) is working on functional data analysis with oceanographic applications.
