My current research is in group testing by Bayesian statistical modeling with Dr. McMahan. The Aptima Combo 2 Assay tests for Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae. If patient samples are pooled together and subsequently the pool sample yields a negative test result, then you could say every individual has a negative test result. Pooling tests can save time and money in a clinical laboratory.
The goal of my research is to model a heterogeneous patient population, with imperfect testing in various testing formats.
My previous research with Dr. Rouse solved a conjecture by Paul Bruckman and Peter Anderson on the prime divisibility of the Fibonacci entry point.
