I am a faculty member in the Department of Statistics and in the Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (BCB) program at the University of Idaho. My principal activities involve consulting, teaching, and research. During the academic year I am a consultant in our Statistical Consulting Center (SCC), where we offer free advice to University of Idaho faculty, staff, and graduate students on the design of experiments and analysis of data from research studies. One of the exciting features of being a consulting statistician is in learning about other disciplines as you help people with their research. I have helped faculty, staff, and students from many of the departments on campus, and have enjoyed learning about their research.

My teaching duties involve a variety of courses in the Department of Statistics. The courses that I have taught in the Department of Statistics are Stat 401 (Statistical Analysis, both video and live sections), Stat 404 ( SAS programming), Stat 422 (Sampling), Stat 507 (Design of Experiments), Stat 514 (Nonparametric Statistics) and Stat 521 (Multivariate Analysis). Another statistics site at the University of Idaho that you may find interesting is our Statistical Consulting Center site.

My research interests are on problems in statistical genetics, biostatistics, and statistical methods applied to issues in natural resources. One of the topics that I work on is the analysis of human twin data. Another area of interest is the estimation of disease prevalence from various types of data, such as in groups of fish that are collected and have their tissue pooled to test for disease status.

The Department of Statistics is located in Brink Hall.

The Statistical Consulting Center is in Brink 400, which is the room with the three windows on the top floor above the sidewalk in this photograph.
