About Me
I received my B.S. degree in 1992 from Salisbury State University (now
Salisbury University)
where I studied mathematics and chemistry. Afterwords, I attended the
University of South Carolina to
study statistics. I received my M.S. degree
in 1995 and my Ph.D. degree (both in statistics) in 1997. Just prior to finishing up,
I accepted a position at the University of New Hampshire
in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics.
After five years of that, I left UNH to come to the
University of Richmond in 2002. I hold the rank of Associate Professor of Statistics
in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. I was granted tenure in 2007.
At the University of Richmond, I teach both introductory and advanced courses on statistics.
I also
teach a course on mathematical finance (Theory of Interest). As the only Ph.D. statistician at UR, students who are interested in statistics and/or actuarial science report to me...
My research interests are in reliability and survival analysis, statistical computing (including
the statistical program R), and statistics education. I am an associate editor for Journal of Statistical Computation and Simulation.
I also provide statistical consulting services such as data analysis, experimental design, and expert witnessing.
