SYNERGISTIC ACTIVITIES

  • Scientific Organizing Committee and the Local Organizing Committee for the Stochastic Processes and their Application Conference, held in Corvallis, Oregon in the summer of 1998.
  • Developed and teaches a two term probability course at the measure-theoretic level to students from oceanography, bioresource engineering, statistics, applied math and math education
  • Teaches many special topic mathematics classes in stochastic processes at the graduate level that bring in students from the above areas as well as engineering and ocean engineering.

CONTRIBUTIONS TO THIS SUMMER INSTITUTE IN ECOINFORMATICS:
interdisciplinary teaching and research in stochastic processes, probability, and statistics.
