Courses I teach regularly:
- Math 113 - Applied Statistics
- Math 213 - Applied Regression Analysis
- Math 325 - Probability and Math 326 - Mathematical Statistics.
My research interests:
- Cluster Analysis
- Applying Statistics to the Biological and Physical Sciences
- Sports Statistics (in particular those related to Fantasy Football)
Sample student projects I have supervised:
