Area of work

I work as a principal statistician based at The James Hutton Institute in Dundee, involved in research, consultancy and training. My research interests centre on statistical aspects of QTL mapping in crop plants, including mapping multivariate traits occurring from metabolomics analysis or image analysis. Consultancy work involves experimental design and analysis, including spatial analysis of field trials, over-sites analysis of variance, multivariate analysis and analysis of sensory data.

Research Interests

• Statistical methods for linkage analysis and QTL mapping
• Mapping in tetraploid species

Major Collaborative Projects

• Linkage analysis and QTL mapping in tetraploid potato
• Linkage analysis and QTL mapping in outbreeding diploid species, particularly Rubus and Ribes
• Analysis of crop imaging data
• Analysis of metabolomics data

Software

• TetraploidSNPMap and TetraploidMap: software for linkage analysis and QTL mapping in tetraploid species (with Iain Milne, John Bradshaw (JHI) and Bram Boskamp, Thanasis Vogogias and Katharine Preedy (BioSS)).
