Research interests include Bayesian statistical inference, bootstrapping, multivariate methods, time series, queueing theory and networks, and stochastic processes. The applications under consideration range from biological, life, social and human sciences to manufacturing, telecommunications and computer management. Alex Basilevsky is interested in the areas of multivariate analysis, time series and stochastic processes, and applications in the social, human, and life sciences. Hatem A. Howlader is interested mainly in Bayesian inference including reliability and lifetesting. He is also interested in applications of statistical methods to biology.
Mathematics There are currently six research faculty on the mathematics side of the department.
Our research areas are loosely arranged around the field of combinatorics. John Ginsburg has a background in set theory and topology but has been recently interested in cutsets in partially ordered sets and graphs. James Currie has a background in logic and theoretical computer science. His recent work focuses on combinatorics on words. Terry Visentin works in the area of combinatorial enumeration.
