Introduction by Session Chair

Transcript of Presentation

BIOSKETCH: Douglas Nychka is a senior scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and is also the project leader for the Geophysical Statistics Project (GSP). He works closely with many of the postdoctorate fellows at NCAR and his primary goal is to emphasize interdisciplinary research: migrating statistical techniques to important scientific problems and using these problems to motivate statistical research. Dr. Nychka’s personal research interests include nonparametric regression (mostly splines), and statistical computing, spatial statistics, and spatial designs. He received his undergraduate degree from Duke University in mathematics and physics and his PhD from the University of Wisconsin under the direction of Grace Wahba. He came to GSP/NCAR in 1997 after spending 14 years as a faculty member in the Statistics Department at North Carolina State University.
