Personal Statement:
My research is focused on the study of optimality and constructions of diallel cross design and block designs under different parameters setups (number of treatments or inbred lines, number of blocks, and block size etc). In particular, I am focused on the methodology of arranging experimental units (or subjects e.g. animals, human patients, agricultural units etc.) and the assignment of treatments (different drugs, doses, methods, technique etc.) or inbred crosses in such a way that comparisons among the treatments/lines are as unbiased and as powerful as possible. The aim is to maximize the overall quality of information so that the results and interpretations are optimal and reliable. My work also examines various problems in experimental issues for microarray data, biological sequence alignment, genomic and proteomics analysis, diagnostic and screening analysis, linear models, combinatorial designs, quality controls techniques, and designing and analysis of randomized controlled trials and multi-center clinical trials.
