Environment

I am a professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Michigan Technological University . My address, phone and fax number are given below. I received a Ph.D. in 1992 from New York University.

Mathematical Interests

I am interested in statistical genetics, smoothing techniques, the analysis of contingency tables, and density estimation.

Other Interests

I like to play racquetball and Ping-Pong. I also like cross-country and down-hill ski.
