Research Interests

The bulk of my research is part of a study by Jay Giedd at NIH that is investigating the genetic and environmental contributions to neurodevelopmental process in humans via a twin paradigm, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and statistical genetic analyses. For this project, my role is essentially that of a statistician with specific expertise in genetic modeling. I also have done a bit of work with the Mid-Atlantic twin registry on the genetic epidemiology of alternative forms of tobacco use, and am currently getting involved in solving more methodological problems.
