Biostatistics, statistical genetics, phylogenetics, clinical trials.
Hierarchical Bayesian methods, computational statistics.
Quality, experimental design, and process optimization.
November 2007:
My research interest is in the application and development of statistical methods for biological and medical questions.
I enjoy interdisciplinary collaborations for the opportunity to contribute and learn in a cooperative environment.
In particular I'm excited by situations where scientists are using methods that can greatly benefit from statistical development, and then working with them to improve their methods.
I have repeatedly applied my statistical, mathematical, and computational knowledge, skills, and experience to modelling and writing the computer programs for model estimation and prediction, and simulations.
As a graduate student I have taken the opportunities to work in areas of simultaneous inference, public health research, phylogenetics, and, most recently, underconstrained systems arising in ecological applications.
My successes in all of these areas give me confidence that I am capable of excellence in many settings.

"Erik had the
acumen, the patience and the savvy to guide me through a vital section of one of my consulting projects last year.
Statistics is its own language, and Erik is an outstanding translator.
"I had an extensive project for which I was
hired a year ago that called for some in-depth statistical analyses. As a doctor of education, I have some expertise in
the area, but I realized that doing the work myself was going to take a lot of my time. A specialist could do it
faster, and a specialist, versant in the nuances of statistics that a person who has taken only a few upper level
courses like me does not possess, would add valuable insight and perspective.
"So I hired Erik, and I could not
have been more pleased. He was a sounding board. He was a check. And he was a superb technician and interpreter. As a
result, the work I did for my clients was better. I was freed up to do what I excel at; and the work was girded by
expert statistical analysis."
