Following a two-year post-doctoral fellowship at the NASA Johnson Space Center, I joined the faculty at The University of Tulsa in 1974. My time as a professor at TU has included 28 years as department chair of Mathematical and Computer Sciences.
Primary Research interests have been in the areas of mathematical statistics and the application of statistics and probability to various fields including remote sensing, energy, law, biology, medicine and engineering.
Currently, I am a member of the TU Institute of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology collaborating on research projects in which statistical methods are used to analyze data from neuroimaging, genetic, and behavioral measurements.
