    Wish to join us?

    Each student is different, but I am proud of all the students I have. To be one of them, you must be a motivated and dedicated student. You need to be willing to meet with me regularly and enjoy team work (in addition to independent study).

    Want to hire a good statistician?

    Whether you are looking for a good researcher, a young post-doc, or a summer intern in statistics, biostatistics or bioinformatics, feel free to contact me. One of my students might be perfect for the post.
