I can advise PhD students through several programs: ESPM, Computational Biology, Statistics (through co-advising) and Biostatistics. Students who work with me have a lot of freedom to develop their own research topics. I also end up advising and collaborating with students in other labs on modeling components of their dissertations.

Graduate admissions in ESPM typically involve a specific match between advisor and student, whereas admissions through Computational Biology and Biostatistics are made for a general pool of students who will seek a match with an advisor after coming to Berkeley. Therefore students interested in working with me towards a PhD through ESPM should contact me during the fall of their application year.
