B.Math. (1984), Mathematics, University of Minnesota. M.S. (1987), Statistics, University of Minnesota.Ph.D. (1989), Statistics, University of Minnesota. My major biostatistical research areas are in Bayesian data analysis, longitudinal data analysis, hierarchical modles, statistical computing and complex non-linear models. I also do work in diagnostics, model development and model checking, and statistical graphics. Motiation for most of my research comes from my collaborative work in HIV research and genomics/bioinformatics. I have active collaborations going in longitudinal studies af HIV+ and at risk individuals, analysis of a longitudinal study of a school lunch intervention in Kenya and in molecular phylogeny. I especially enjoy teaching my classes in Statistical Graphics (Biostat 230), Bayesian Data Analysis (Biostat 251). Most of my classes have computing and writing components, because there isn't much point to statistical practice unless you can calculate what you need to on the computer and then communicate what you have learned. I particularily like working in an academic environment because I get to work with students on research projects, paper writing, and as dissertation advisor.
