 Distinguished
Professor of Mathematical Statistics- Director, Center for Statistical Ecology and Environmental
Statistics
- Ph.D., University of Michigan, 1959
- D.Sc., Indian Statistical Institute, 1975
Summary of research interests
Statistical ecology and environmental statistics provide
the focus of Dr. Patil's research. The emphasis is on
individual and collaborative research, training, and
exposition.
Broad research areas of his interest relate to statistical
ecology, environmental statistics, and quantitative
risk analysis. The adopted approach is to advance statistics
for ecology and environment, and to advance ecological
and environmental theory and practice using valid statistics.
Current research projects and activities include surveillance
geoinformatics, multiscale assessment, multiple indicators
and prioritization, hotspot detection and early warning.
Dr. Patil is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association
and Institute of Mathematical Statistics, an elected
member of the International Statistical Institute, and
a recipient of the Distinguished Statistical Ecologist
Award of the International Association for Ecology.
He is past chair of the ASA section on Statistics and
the Environment. He is editor-in-chief of Environmental
and Ecological Statistics.
