Welcome!

I am a PhD student in the Department of Biostatistics at the University of Michigan.
I hold a B.Sc. (Hons) in Statistics from St. Xavier’s College, Kolkata and an M.Stat. from Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata.

My research is in statistical genetics, with a focus on developing statistical methods for gene-level inference and causal gene prioritization in human genetic studies. I am also broadly interested in applied statistical modeling, clinical trial design and analysis, and machine learning, with an emphasis on principled inference and real-world data applications.

Research Interests

• Statistical genetics
• Gene-level and variant-level association testing
• Causal gene prioritization
• Integration of GWAS and molecular QTL data
• High-dimensional statistical methods
• Multiple hypothesis testing
• Clinical trial design and analysis
• Machine learning

Current Work

My current research focuses on:

• Comparing aggregation tests with single-variant approaches
• Developing statistical frameworks for integrating GWAS, QTLs, and gene-level features
• Comparing aggregation tests with sequencing data versus array+imputed data
