I teach three to four courses per year, conduct research, provide consulting and student advising. One client from ecology does research on spatial capture-recapture models to estimate abundance and density of animal populations by Bayesian analysis. He was stuck in R programming for a long time and I was able to help him. It is really great to support.

Blacksburg

We developed three different frameworks to detect the time when crash and near-crash risks decreased significantly for novice teenage drivers: a frequentist approach, a hierarchical Bayesian finite mixture model, and a Dirichlet process mixture model. We apply the models to the Naturalistic Teenage Driving Study. The related literature is very limited. The.

Instructor of Statistics for Engineering Applications (STAT 3704): Taught up to 130 undergraduate students from diverse backgrounds independently, stimulated the students to apply appropriate statistical methods in their fields, prepared lecture slides, homework, exams. I obtained high evaluation from the students.I really enjoyed teaching and explained.

Lead 24 collaboration projects to assist researchers from diverse research fields, helped researchers clarify their research goals, proposed appropriate statistical methods and performed statistical analysis. Conducted walk-in consulting and taught short courses on statistics. Achieved coauthorship out of one project.The challenge is that we never know.

Collaborated in team with the lead collaborators on 14 projects.

• Prepared homework solution for “Design and Analysis of Experiments” by D. C. Montgomery in 2014 Spring of Design of Experiments (STAT 5204G).
• Grader for Bayesian Statistics (STAT 5444) and Data Analytics (STAT 5525) in 2013 Fall.
• Grader of six statistics courses.

Virginia Tech Transportation Institute

• U.S. Department of Transportation adaptive lighting project: Collaborated with researchers in transportation, cleaned and merged data, generated plots, conducted analysis and fit models on roadway lightning’s effects.
• Collaborated with researchers in transportation, cleaned and analyzed vehicle crash data, advanced the multistate travel time reliability model by using skewed distributions, and wrote papers. We have two papers.
• Cleaned and analyzed vehicle crashing data for VTTI utilizing SAS, Spring 2010 The data from transportation is complex and large, usually including dozens of variables. We need to merge data a lot. The challenge would.
