Brief sketch I earned an MS and a PhD in Statistics from Cornell University, and a BA in Mathematics and German Language and Literature from Washington University in St. Louis. My area of statistical expertise is methods for and applications to correlated data, including longitudinal cohort studies and medical imaging data. I am heavily involved in collaborative research with other faculty in the School of Public Health, the Medical School, and the College of Biological Sciences. My collaborative research has historically been in longitudinal epidemiological studies, but has recently expanded into human and animal studies using structural and functional imaging (NMR spectroscopy, MRI, fMRI, etc.). I have worked in the areas of cancer, cardiovascular disease, geriatric pharmacoepidemiology, endocrinology, environmental health, and ecology/wildlife biology. My collaborative work allows me to learn about wide ranging areas of science, which is what drew me to statistics many years ago. I am a member of the University of Minnesota Masonic Cancer Center, and I collaborate extensively with members of the Center for Magnetic Resonance Research. I also lead a Biostatistics core for the IDCRP, an international network of military infectious disease researchers.

Teaching In Fall 2009, I taught the course Biostatistics I, PubH 6450. This is an introductory course, covering descriptive statistics, Gaussian (normal) data models, point/interval estimation for means and proportions, hypothesis testing (including t, chi-square, and nonparametric tests), simple regression/correlation analysis, and ANOVA. We focus on health science applications, producing and using output from the statistical package SAS. Most students in this class are MPH or MS students in other health sciences fields.
