Volodymyr Minin

Dr. Minin is Professor in the Department of Statistics. He is also Associate Director of the Infectious Disease Initiative and Honors Program Director in the School of Information & Computer Sciences. His research interests include developing statistically rigorous solutions to problems that arise in biological sciences, as these solutions often involve formulating probabilistic models that describe complex dynamics of biological systems and devising computationally efficient algorithms to fit these models to data. He is currently most active in infectious disease epidemiology, working on Bayesian estimation of disease transmission model parameters, in computational immunology, working on statistical methods to analyze high throughput sequence data of B-cell receptors, and in systems biology, working on mechanistic models of hematopoiesis. Dr. Minin also has a long-standing interest in statistical phylogenetics and population genetics.
