I received my Ph.D. in 1999 from the
Department of Statistics
at the
University of Michigan
in
Ann Arbor, Michigan.
During the 2007-8 academic year, I was on sabbatical at the
University of Orléans, France,
partially supported by le Studium,
an agency of the CNRS (basically the French version of NSF)
that supports researchers visiting the Centre region of France from abroad.
Courses
This semester I'm teaching
STAT 414, Introduction to Probability Theory.
In past semesters, I've taught:
Some recent talks / tutorials / conferences
Papers
The computer code referred to in some
of these papers is available online. Due to copyright issues, at least one of the papers
is not supposed to be posted below (but I am allowed to email an electronic version in that
case if you contact me).
