Current Research Interests:
My research is in both theoretical and applied aspects of
spatial statistics. Some of my interests are in using smooth invertible
transformations for statistical modeling and estimation; computational
techniques for dealing with densely observed random fields; and,
finally, I have a general interest in applied spatial statistics with a
special interest in environmental, astronomical and cosmological
problems.
My theoretical research has been focused on using smooth invertible
transformations for developing models of nonstationary
random fields and developing semi-parametric and nonparametric
multivariate density estimation techniques. Smooth invertible
transformations can frequently be use to elegantly develop physically
realistic, flexible statistical models but presents many exciting
challenges due to the intrinsic nonlinearity of the invertible
requirement.
In contrast to my theoretical work I have been collaborating with the
Jet Propulsion Lab using random field techniques for the recovery
of 3 dimensional depth from multiple satellite stereo images. In
addition, I also work on computational techniques for likelihood
problems and for recovering smooth invertible
transformations. Finally, I have a general interest in
environmental, astronomical and cosmological statistical problems which
have an integral spatial structure that needs to be incorporated into
the statistical inference and analysis.
