Graduate Students:

I am currently recruiting strong students wishing to pursue graduate studies.  In particular, I am interested in supervising students with background knowledge or an interest statistical methodology for studying problems in Environmetrics, Actuarial Science and Biostatistics, including:

• Smoothing or nonlinear regression
• Spatial statistics
• Point processes
• Stochastic processes
• Longitudinal and mixed effects modelling
• Mixture models
• Applied probability and queueing
• Simulation
• Statistical Inference
• Data visualization

Other requirements include:

• A strong motivation and interest in studying quantitative problems through theory, data analysis and simulation.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills.

The department offers competitive funding packages, usually made up of a mix of research and teaching assistantships and scholarships. 

For more information, please feel free to contact me or visit the department's website (www.wlu.ca/math) and click on the "Graduate Program" link on the left hand side of that page.

Undergraduate Students:

If you're an undergraduate student interested in an NSERC USRA, a WLU Undegraduate RA or any other research assistantship opportunities, please feel free to contact me.

I also have an interest in statistical and mathematical education.  I am interested in supervising an undergraduate student who is considering pursuing a B.Ed. degree in MA489 (research stream) to conduct some pilot research in this area.
