Expertise: My research has two areas: (1) mixture model, computing algorithms and

applications; (2) bioinformatics and computational biology. Mixture models

provide a flexible and powerful modeling tool to a wide variety of

applications. My recent work concerns how to improve the nonparametric

maximum likelihood estimation (NPMLE) using penalized likelihood method in

important applications including species richness estimation. My research in

bioinformatics and computational biology aims to develop complex statistical

methods to high throughput genomic and genetic data. The current working

projects include Expressed Sequence Tag (EST) data analysis, nucleosome

sequence alignment and positioning prediction, human brain mapping, DNA

methylation differentiation and tRNA inter-positional association
