Sabbatical

I’m enjoying Sabbatical during the Fall 2017 – Spring 2018 academic year.  My Sabbatical Leave Plan includes visiting both UC Irvine and the Mind Research Network to:
  • learn more about Bayesian graphical models,
  • learn more about Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC),
  • learn about their statistical and computational implementations, and
  • apply both to extend current models in the application to fMRI brain imaging data.
  • Continue UNM 100-level statistics and mathematics education initiatives to understand factors influencing student success and find strategies to increase success.
