The chief researcher on these is Hans-J"urgen Bandelt. In fact, he is
at your University! So ask him.
Bandelt H-J, Forster P, Sykes BC, Richards MB (1995) Mitochondrial portraits of
human populations using median networks. Genetics 141:743-753
Bandelt, Hans-Jurgen, et al. Median-joining networks for inferring
intraspecific phylogenies. Molec Bio and Evol. Vol 16 (1), Jan 1999
Their software is at: http://www.fluxus-engineering.com/sharenet.htm
and there is a reference page there, with more papers on these techniques
cited.
(And after you get into this, look up the coalescent likelihood methods too!)
