For more details on me, you can view a slightly out of date CV (late summer 2006) by clicking here:  CV

I am interested in using statistical methods to help scientists address questions fundamental to their understanding of processes.
I am currently working on applications in the Geosciences, Ecology.
In the Geosciences, this includes the analysis and description of the shape of glaciated (and un-glaciated) valleys, drumlin field analysis, and analyzing water pressure and surface velocities in a glacier.
I am generally interested in applications that involve high sampling frequency that will naturally fit into functional data analysis methods and other non-standard multivariate time series applications.
I am also investigating model selection using cross validation based criteria, especially as they relate to nonlinear and/ or dynamic models.
