Information
Research (click here
to download PDF copies) My current research focus involves
environmental and spatial statistics and toxicology concentrating primarily on
assessing interactions and their effects on the environment and systems.
Methods include likelihood methods, curvature and differential geometry;
statistical modelling and simulation; sampling and optimal/experimental design;
bioassay, relative potency and synergy (interaction); and general
biostatistics, epidemiology, and bioinformatics. I also work in statistics
education and medical/statistical ethics.
