| My general interest is to find robust procedures in various settings, including for models in molecular evolution and marine ecology. As part of this am interested in developing methods for constructing and evaluating robust confidence intervals and tests. | My general interest is to find robust procedures in various settings, including for models in molecular evolution and marine ecology.

| Am interested in developing reliable inference methods in phylogeny where we estimate trees. Am working on developing robust methods for combining information across genes to obtain a robust tree estimate. | Am interested in developing reliable inference methods in phylogeny where we estimate trees.

| Have a continuing interest in using saddlepoint methods to evaluate tail areas accurately in multi-dimensional problems. It is often of interest to carry out these approximations empirically and it is important to assess the accuracy of the intervals. | Have a continuing interest in using saddlepoint methods to evaluate tail areas accurately in multi-dimensional problems.
